οὕτω δ᾽ ἐξελύθησαν διὰ τὴν ἄκαιρον μέθην ὥστε τινὲς αὐτῶν οὔτε ἀνατέλλοντα τὸν ἥλιον οὔτε δυόμενον ἑωράκασιν. νόμον τε ἔθεντο, ὃς ἔτι καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν ἦν, τὰς αὐλητρίδας καὶ τὰς ψαλτρίας καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα τῶν ἀκροαμάτων τὰ μισθώματα [p. 374] λαμβάνειν ἀπὸ πρωὶ μέχρι μέσου ἡμέρας καὶ μέχρι λύχνων ἁφῶν: ἀπὸ δὲ τούτου τὴν λοιπὴν νύκτα ἦσαν πρὸς τῷ μεθύειν. Θεόπομπος δ᾽ ἐν πεντεκαιδεκάτῃ Ἱστοριῶν χιλίους φησὶν ἄνδρας αὐτῶν ἁλουργεῖς φοροῦντας στολὰς ἀστυπολεῖν ὃ δὴ καὶ βασιλεῦσιν σπάνιον τότ᾽ ἦν καὶ περισπούδαστον. ἰσοστάσιος γὰρ ἦν ἡ πορφύρα πρὸς ἄργυρον ἐξεταζομένη, τοιγαροῦν διὰ τὴν τοιαύτην ἀγωγὴν ἐν τυραννίδι καὶ στάσεσι γενόμενοι αὐτῇ πατρίδι ’
ᾔεσαν εἰς ἀγορὴν παναλουργέα φάρε᾽ ἔχοντες,
οὐ μείους ὥσπερ χίλιοι εἰς ἐπίπαν,
αὐχαλέοι, χαίτῃσιν ἀγαλλομεν εὐπρεπέεσσιν
ἀσκητοῖς ὀδμὴν χρίμασι δευόμενοι.
