Δαφναῖος ‘αἴσχιστα δὲ καλεῖς’ ἔφη ‘γάμον καὶ σύνοδον ἀνδρὸς καὶ γυναικός, ἧς οὐ γέγονεν οὐδ᾽ ἔστιν ἱερωτέρα κατάζευξις;’ ‘ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μέν’ εἶπεν ὁ Πρωτογένης ‘ἀναγκαῖα πρὸς γένεσιν ὄντα σεμνύνουσιν οὐ φαύλως οἱ νομοθέται καὶ κατευλογοῦσι πρὸς τοὺς πολλούς: ἀληθινοῦ δ᾽ Ἔρωτος οὐδ᾽ ὁτιοῦν τῇ γυναικωνίτιδι 1 μέτεστιν, οὐδ᾽ ἐρᾶν ὑμᾶς ἔγωγέ φημι τοὺς γυναιξὶ προσπεπονθότας ἢ παρθένοις, ὥσπερ οὐδὲ μυῖαι 2 γάλακτος οὐδὲ μέλιτται ’
