ἀντὶ τοῦ παιδιᾶς. σῶφρον δέ τι ἦν τὸ τῶν συμποσίοις καὶ φιλοσόφων διάθεσιν ἐπέχον.
Ἀγαμέμνων γοῦν τὸν ἀοιδὸν καταλείπει τῇ Κλυταιμνήστρᾳ φύλακα καὶ παραινετῆρά τινα: ὃς πρῶτον μὲν ἀρετὴν γυναικῶν διερχόμενος ἐνέβαλλὲ τινα φιλοτιμίαν εἰς καλοκἀγαθίαν, εἶτα διατριβὴν παρέχων ἡδεῖαν ἀπεπλάνα τὴν διάνοιαν φαύλων ἐπινοιῶν. διὸ Αἴγισθος οὐ πρότερον διέφθειρε τὴν γυναῖκα πρὶν τὸν ἀοιδὸν ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν νήσῳ ἐρήμῃ.
[p. 62]
τοιοῦτός ἐστι καὶ ὁ παρὰ τοῖς μνηστῆρσιν ἀείδων
