[16] τούτοις δ᾽ ἔοικε καὶ τὰ παρὰ τοῖς Θρᾳξὶ τά τε Κοτύττια καὶ τὰ Βενδίδεια, παρ᾽ οἷς καὶ τὰ Ὀρφικὰ τὴν καταρχὴν ἔσχε. τῆς μὲν οὖν Κότυος τῆς ἐν τοῖς Ἠδωνοῖς Αἰσχύλος μέμνηται καὶ τῶν περὶ αὐτὴν ὀργάνων. εἰπὼν γάρ“ σεμνὰ Κότυς ἐν τοῖς Ἠδωνοῖς
ὄρεια δ᾽ ὄργαν᾽ ἔχοντες,
” τοὺς περὶ τὸν Διόνυσον εὐθέως ἐπιφέρει“ ὁ μὲν ἐν χερσὶν
βόμβυκας ἔχων, τόρνου κάματον,
δακτυλόδικτον πίμπλησι μέλος,
μανίας ἐπαγωγὸν ὁμοκλάν:
ὁ δὲ χαλκοδέτοις κοτύλαις [p. 662] ὀτοβεῖ.
” καὶ πάλιν“ ψαλμὸς δ᾽ ἀλαλάζει:
ταυρόφθογγοι δ᾽ ὑπομυκῶνται
ποθὲν ἐξ ἀφανοῦς φοβεροὶ μῖμοι,
τυπάνου δ᾽ εἰκὼν ὥσθ᾽ ὑπογαίου
βροντῆς φέρεται βαρυταρβής.
” ταῦτα γὰρ ἔοικε τοῖς Φρυγίοις: καὶ οὐκ ἀπεικός γε, ὥσπερ αὐτοὶ οἱ Φρύγες Θρᾳκῶν ἄποικοί εἰσιν, οὕτω καὶ τὰ ἱερὰ ἐκεῖθεν μετενηνέχθαι. καὶ τὸν Διόνυσον δὲ καὶ τὸν Ἠδωνὸν Λυκοῦργον συνάγοντες εἰς ἓν τὴν ὁμοιοτροπίαν τῶν ἱερῶν αἰνίττονται.
