non igitur frustra Plato civili viro, quem πολιτικὸν
vocat, necessariam musicen credidit. et eius
sectae, quae aliis severissima aliis asperrima videtur,
principes in hac fuere sententia, ut existimarent
sapientium aliquos nonnullam operam his studiis
accommodaturos. et Lycurgus, durissimarum Lacedaemoniis legum auctor, musices disciplinam probavit.
