ἐγὦιδ’ ἐφ’ ὧι γε τὸ κέαρ ηὐφράνθην ηὐφράνθην Anon. Prol. Com. XXVIII Koster: εὐφράνθην M ἰδών,
τοῖς πέντε ταλάντοις οἷς Κλέων ἐξήμεσεν.
ταῦθ’ ὠς ἐγανώθην, καὶ φιλῶ τοὺς ἱππέας
διὰ τοῦτο τοὔργον· “ἄξιον γὰρ Ἑλλάδι Eur. Tel. fr. 720 Kannicht.”
I know what really warmed the cockles of my heart when I saw it: the five talents that Cleon coughed up. How delighted I was about that! And I love the Knights on account of that deed. “For it was a worthwhile thing for Greece.”

εἰς τὸ δρᾶμα τῶν Ἱππέων ἀποτείνεται. Διὰ τούτους τούτους Meiners: τούτου m: τοῦτο m γὰρ φαίνεται καταδικασθεὶς ὁ Κλέων τάλαντα ε.
He is referring to the play The Knights. For, on account of this, Cleon seems to have been fined five talents.
