Τριβαλλοί

A. 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; ούδ’ ἐν Τριβαλλοῖς ταῦτά γ’ ἐστὶν ἔννομα Alex. 241; καὶ ποὺ μὲν καλὸν τὸν πατέρα θύειν, οἷον ἐν T. Arist. Top. 115b23:—Adj. Τριβαλλικός, ή, όν, Hdt. 4.49.

II. a slang term for young fellows who lounge about taverns, etc., like the 'Mohocks' of Addison's time, D. 54.39:—hence the Comic exaggeration Τριβαλλο‐ποπανό‐θρεπτα μειρακύλλια, tavern-bred Mohocks, Eub. 75.3 (Casaubon for Τριβαλλο‐πανό‐θρεπτα: Meineke suggests Τριβαλλο‐μαμμό‐θρεπτα, and Kock defends the Ms. reading).
