Line 915

βέβηκε· †καὶ τἄλλʼ οὐδὲν μετὰ ταῦτα δεῖ λέγειν†.
The phrase 'καὶ τἄλλʼ οὐδὲν μετὰ ταῦτα δεῖ λέγειν' is marked with the obelus (†) in the critical apparatus, indicating that the scholia and several modern editors (e.g., Kock, Denniston) consider it a gloss or a redundant addition by a scribe attempting to clarify the preceding verb βέβηκε ('he/she has gone'). The scholiast notes that the line is superfluous because βέβηκε already implies the cessation of the action or the departure of the speaker, making the explicit instruction 'nothing else needs to be said after this' a tautological explanation rather than original text. Its removal restores the punchline's abruptness, a common feature in Aristophanic comedy where a character exits immediately after a decisive statement.
