  • τὸν δὲ τοῦτο ἀποκρινάμενον ἐάν τισ ἐπερωτᾷ, εἰ ἐν χορῷ χορευτὴν ὄντα μὴ προσέχειν τῷ κορυφαίῳ μηδὲ ὑπήκοον εἶναι αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ̓ ᾅδειν τε καὶ ἀπᾴδειν, ὅπωσ ἂν αὐτῷ ἐπίῃ, τοῦτο καλὸν οἰέται εἶναι καὶ ἐλευθέριον, τὸ δὲ ἐναντίον τούτου, τὸ προσέχειν καὶ πείθεσθαι τῷ ἡγεμόνι τοῦ χοροῦ, καὶ τότε ἄρχεσθαι καὶ παύεσθαι ᾅδοντα ὁπόταν ἐκεῖνοσ κελεύσῃ, αἰσχρὸν εἶναι καὶ δουλοπρεπέσ, οὐκ ἂν οἶμαι ὁμολογοῖ.
