ἦν δὲ
ὡς ἀληθῶς τραγῳδία μεγάλη περὶ τὸν Δημήτριον,
οὐ μόνον ἀμπεχόμενον καὶ διαδούμενον περιττῶς
καυσίαις διμίτροις καὶ χρυσοπαρύφοις ἁλουργίσιν,
ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ τοῖς ποσὶν ἐκ πορφύρας
ἀκράτου συμπεπιλημένης χρυσοβαφεῖς πεποιημένον
ἐμβάδας. ἦν δέ τις ὑφαινομένη χλανὶς
αὐτῷ πολὺν χρόνον, ἔργον ὑπερήφανον, εἴκασμα
τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τῶν κατ᾽ οὐρανὸν φαινομένων:
Plutarch. Plutarch's Lives. with an English Translation by. Bernadotte Perrin. Cambridge, MA. Harvard University Press. London. William Heinemann Ltd. 1920. 9.
