ἢ μανθάνουσιν
ἀνδράσι συνοικοῦσαι, μαχίμοις καὶ πολεμικοῖς
ἄθρυπτον καὶ ἄθηλυν καὶ ἀφελῆ προσίεσθαι καλλωπισμόν; ὥσπερ ὁ
Λυκοῦργος ἀπὸ πρίονος καὶ πελέκεως κελεύσας τὰ θυρώματα ταῖς οἰκίαις
ποιεῖν καὶ τὰς ὀροφάς, ἄλλῳ δὲ μὴ χρῆσθαι τὸ παράπαν ἐργαλείῳ, πᾶσαν
ἐξέβαλε περιεργίαν καὶ πολυτέλειαν. ἢ τὴν
διάστασιν αἰνίττεται τὸ γιγνόμενον, ὡς μόνῳ σιδήρῳ τοῦ γάμου
διακριθησομένου; ἢ τὰ μὲν πλεῖστα τῶν γαμικῶν εἰς τὴν Ἥραν ἀνῆπτο;
Ἥρας δ᾽ ἱερὸν τὸ δόρυ νενόμισται, καὶ τῶν ἀγαλμάτων αὐτῆς δόρατι
στηρίζεται τὰ πλεῖστα καὶ Κυρῖτις ἡ θεὸς
ἐπωνόμασται, τὸ γὰρ δόρυ ‘κύριν 1 ’
