ἐμέμνητο γὰρ καὶ τοιούτου τινός. ἔφη γυναῖκά τινα τῶν ἐριφανῶν τὰ μὲν ἄλλα καλὴν καὶ κόσμιον, μικρὰν δὲ καὶ πολὺ τοῦ συμμέτρου ἀποδέουσαν, ἐπαινεῖσθαι πρός τινος ποιητοῦ ἐν
ᾁσματι τά τε ἄλλα καὶ ὅτι καλή τε καὶ μεγάλη
ἦν αἰγείρῳ δ᾽ αὐτῆς εἴκαζεν ἐκεῖνος τὸ εὔμηκὲς
τε καὶ ὄρθιον. τὴν μὲν δὴ γάνυσθαι τῷ ἐπαίνῳ καθάπερ αὐξανομένην πρὸς τὸ μέλος καὶ τὴν χεῖρα ἐπισείειν, τὸν ποιητὴν δὲ πολλάκις τὸ αὐτὸ
ᾁδειν ὁρῶντα ὡς ἥδοιτο ἐπαινουμένη, ἄχρι δὴ τῶν παρόντων τινὰ προσκύψαντα πρὸς τὸ οὖς
εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ, ‘ πέπαυσο, ὦ οὗτος, μὴ καὶ ἀναστῆναι ποιήσῃς τὴν γυναῖκα.’
