Summary\n
The language of Aristophanes' comedy (including metrics) should be defined as an independent special functional form of Greek that unified its traditional and synchronic variants. In the present paper a text of Colum. X 1, 1, 300 is examined. Due to the analysis of parallel passages and use of botanical information the authors come to a conclusion about the text having been corrupted. As a result, conjecture niueo instead of the manuscript reading nigro is proposed.
