εἷς δέ τις ἀνήρ
ἐπιεικὴς, Μέτων ὄνομα, τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης ἐν
ᾗ τὸ δόγμα κυροῦν ἔμελλον ἐνστάσης καὶ τοῦ
δήμου καθεζομένου, λαβὼν στέφανον τῶν ἑώλων
καὶ λαμπάδιον, ὥσπερ οἱ μεθύοντες, αὐλητρίδος
ὑφηγουμένης αὐτῷ πρὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἐκώμαζεν.
οἷα δὲ ἐν ὄχλῳ δημοκρατίας κόσμον οὐκ ἐχούσης
οἱ μὲν ἐκρότουν ἰδόντες, οἱ δὲ ἐγέλων, ἐκώλυε δὲ
οὐδείς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ γύναιον αὐλεῖν κἀκεῖνον
ᾄδειν ἐκέλευον εἷς μέσον 1 προελθόντα:2 καὶ τοῦτο
ποιήσων ἐπίδοξος ἦν.
1 εἰς μέσον with Blass and most MSS : μέσον.
2 προελθόντα Blass, after Reiske: προσελθόντα.
