the Triballi
the Triballi, a people on the borders of Thrace (v. Hdt. 4.49): hence as a Comic name for barbarian gods, Ar. Av. 1529, 1533, 1627; ούδʼ ἐν Τριβαλλοῖς ταῦτά γʼ ἐστὶν ἔννομα Alex. 241; καὶ ποὺ μὲν καλὸν τὸν πατέρα θύειν, οἷον ἐν T. Arist. Top. 115b23:—Adj. Τρῐβαλλικός, ή, όν, Hdt. 4.49.
II young fellows who lounge about taverns, tavern-bred Mohocks
a slang term for young fellows who lounge about taverns, etc., like the ‘Mohocks’ of Addisonʼs time, D. 54.39:—hence the Comic exaggeration Τρῐβαλλο-ποπᾰνό-θρεπτα μειρακύλλια, tavern-bred Mohocks, Eub. 75.3 (Casaubon for Τριβαλλο-πανό-θρεπτα: Meineke suggests Τριβαλλο-μαμμό-θρεπτα, and Kock defends the Ms. reading).
