A statement is necessary about the authors whose use of a word has been considered sufficient to mark it as good Attic. All the Atticists agree in accepting as standard Attic (δόκιμοι) the orators, Thucydides,[1] and Aristophanes and the other

  1. In spite of the fact that Thucydides used a fairly large number of non-Attic words, the difficulty of deciding in the case of a particular word has led me to accept his writings as canonical. Professor C. F. Smith, in articles in the Proceedings of the American Philological Association on "Traces of Tragic Usage in Thucydides" (vol. 22 [1891] pp. xvi ff.), and "Poetic Words in Thucydides" (vol. 23 [1892] pp. xlviii ff.) gives a partial list of such words. Among them are the following which appear in Menander: αἰών (Cratin.), ἄνθος (Aristoph.), δράω (Aristoph.), ἐξαλείφω (Aristoph., Dem.), ἐξαπίνης (Aristoph.), (εὐπραξία, doubtful restoration in Men.; found in Dem.), ἤπιος (Aristoph.), μοχθέω (Aristoph.), νέμω (orators), οἱ πέλας = the neighbors, (ῥόθιον, a restoration in Men., found in Aristoph.), σμικρός (Pherecr.), and φιλέω = soleo (Aristoph., Isocr.). Professor Smith also compares πληγέντες, Thuc. 3.18.2, al. ( = μεγάλως νικηθέντες Schol.) with Men. 1053 K. πέπλεκται = ἥττηται (Phot.). Of these twelve (or possibly fourteen), all except οἱ πέλας and πέπλεκται or πληγέντες appear either in old comedy or the orators, as noted above.
