κομᾶν: to wear the hair long, somewhat after the fashion of the Spartans, was customary at Athens only up to the age of the Ephebus, with the exception of such men as from their rank (ἱππεῖς), or love of display, chose thus to adorn themselves. Hair cut quite short, however, was considered ἀνδραποδώδης θρίξ. See Herm. Gr. Alter. iv.^{3} § 23.
οὐλάς: as the explanation ἴχνη . . . πληγῶν shows, this word denotes not the fresh wounds (ὠτειλαί), but the scars which remained after they had healed.
