‘Ἑρμιονεὺς εἰς τὴν διθυραμβικὴν ἀγωγὴν μεταστήσας τοὺς ῥυθμοὺς: καὶ τῇ τῶν αὐλῶν πολυφωνίᾳ κατακολουθήσας
πλείοσί τε φθόγγοις καὶ διερριμμένοις
χρησάμενος εἰς μετάθεσιν τὴν προϋπάρχουσαν ἤγαγε μουσικήν.’
‘ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Μελανιππίδης ὁ μελοποιὸς
ἐπιγενόμενος οὐκ ἐνέμεινε τῇ προϋπαρχούσῃ μουσικῇ, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ Φιλόξενος; οὐδὲ Τιμόθεος: οὗτος
γάρ, ἑπταφθόγγου τῆς λύρας ὑπαρχούσης ἕως εἰς Τέρπανδρον τὸν Ἀντισσαῖον, διέρριψεν εἰς πλείονας φθόγγους. ἀλλὰ γὰρ καὶ αὐλητικὴ ἀφ᾽ ἁπλουστέρας εἰς ποικιλωτέραν μεταβέβηκε μουσικήν: τὸ γὰρ
[p. 515] παλαιόν, ἕως εἰς: Μελανιππίδην τὸν τῶν διθυράμβων
