τριχίδων δὲ Εὔπολις ἐν Κόλαξιν ·ἐκεῖνος ἦν φειδωλός ,ὃς ἐπὶ τοῦ βίου πρὸ τοῦ πολέμου μὲν τριχίδας ὠψώνησ᾽ ἅπαξ ,ὅτε τἀν Σάμῳ δ᾽ ἦν ,ἡμιωβελίου κρέα .
And Eupolis says in Kolakes about an anchovy full of hairlike bones : That person was thrifty ,that buys fish and other dainties in the life before the war and the trichis indeed once ,when that in Samos happened ,meat worth half an obol .
