σμικρὸν δ’ ὑποθέσθαι τοῖς κριταῖσι βούλομαι.
τοῖς σοφοῖς μὲν τῶν σοφῶν μεμνημένοις κρίνειν ἐμέ,
τοῖς γελῶσι δ’ ἡδέως διὰ τὸν γέλων κρίνειν ἐμέ·
I've got a small favour to ask the judges:
Let the wise ones judge me remembering my wisdom,
Let those laughing judge me through their laughter
Aristophanes Ecclesiazusae 1144-5
