Liked Aristo 8 but felt without Classical/bible expertise would have been impossible to solve!

Vote targeted by;

Thought kt's Monteverdi Vespers a nice touch, and liked dorrien's sardine heads but don't think that "does" should be shared as part of the definition (with a following adverb beginning with D it would have had my vote).

geevo @14

paul: After cluing it I actually checked to see whether it's in Chambers (it is), and nemo, kt, penda, and spike clued it too!

I confess I was stumped by 'rich man' so I checked in Bradford's under 'rich(es)' and 'Dives' was listed - a bit of googling and the penny dropped so voting for aristophanes' #8

Progress report:
kt17, mattrom, penda, FJ, and nemo still to vote.
rossim @2 has 5 votes, tyke51 @9 and aristo @8 have 2 each, tatters @7 and geevo @14 have 1 each.
All results still possible (just!)

@Aristo - well I’d never heard of the term; yes others used it but I loved your surface!

We seem to divide between those who know and those who don't. I'll add myself to the don't-knows, and admit to being something of a heathen!
