Description
Excerpt from Scholia Aristophanica, Vol. 3: Being Such Comments Adscript to the Text of Aristophanes as Have Been Preserved in the Codex Ravennas
Nobody can persuade or delight, or even make himself understood, if somebody else louder and more voluble keep up a running comment upon what he says, praise him, blame him, bid him hold his tongue altogether at times, until something which he does not know, or of set purpose discards, has been tiresomely expounded. The bystanders, when this happens, are not distracted merely; they turn indolently towards the clamorous interpreter who engages to save them the trouble of thinking for themselves.
