[36]

τὰ μὲν οὖν Κόμανα εὐανδρεῖ καὶ ἔστιν ἐμπόριον τοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀρμενίας ἀξιόλογον: συνέρχονται δὲ κατὰ τὰς ἐξόδους τῆς θεοῦ πανταχόθεν ἔκ τε τῶν πόλεων καὶ τῆς χώρας ἄνδρες ὁμοῦ γυναιξὶν ἐπὶ τὴν ἑορτήν: καὶ ἄλλοι δὲ κατ᾽ εὐχὴν ἀεί τινες ἐπιδημοῦσι θυσίας ἐπιτελοῦντες τῇ θεῷ. καί εἰσιν ἁβροδίαιτοι οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες, καὶ οἰνόφυτα τὰ κτήματα αὐτῶν ἐστι πάντα, καὶ πλῆθος γυναικῶν τῶν ἐργαζομένων ἀπὸ τοῦ σώματος, ὧν αἱ πλείους εἰσὶν ἱεραί. τρόπον γὰρ δή τινα μικρὰ Κόρινθός ἐστιν ἡ πόλις: καὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν ἑταιρῶν, αἳ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ἦσαν ἱεραί, πολὺς ἦν ὁ ἐπιδημῶν καὶ ἐνεορτάζων τῷ τόπῳ: οἱ δ᾽ ἐμπορικοὶ καὶ στρατιωτικοὶ τελέως ἐξανηλίσκοντο, ὥστ᾽ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ παροιμίαν ἐκπεσεῖν τοιαύτην “
οὐ παντὸς ἀνδρὸς εἰς Κόρινθόν ἐσθ᾽ ὁ πλοῦς.
” τὰ μὲν δὴ Κόμανα τοιαῦτα.
