Bergk ad fr. 3' 'καὶ Ἀρχίλοχος ῾fr. 20':' ἑάλωσαν γὰρ
ὑπὸ Ἐφεσίων. καὶ περὶ αὐτῶν δὲ τῶν ΕΦΕΣΙΩΝ Δημόκριτος ὁ Ἐφέσιος ἐν τῷ προτέρῳ περὶ τοῦ ἐν

ὧν ἐφόρουν βαπτῶν ἱματίων γράφει καὶ τάδε ῾FHG IV
383':' ‘τὰ δὲ τῶν Ἰώνων ἰοβαφῆ καὶ πορφυρᾶ καὶ κρόκινα ῥόμβοις ὑφαντά: αἱ δὲ κεφαλαὶ κατ᾽ ἴσα διειλημμέναι ζῴοις. καὶ σαράπεις μήλινοι καὶ πορφυροῖ καὶ
λευκοί, οἳ δὲ ἁλουργεῖς. καὶ καλασίρεις Κορινθιουργεῖς:
εἰσὶ δ᾽ αἳ μὲν πορφυραῖ τούτων, αἳ δὲ ἰοβαφεῖς, αἳ
δὲ ὑακίνθιναι: λάβοι δ᾽ ἄν τις καὶ φλογίνας καὶ θαλασσοειδεῖς. ὑπάρχουσιν δὲ καὶ Περσικαὶ καλασίρεις,
αἵπερ εἰσὶ κάλλισται πασῶν. ἴδοι δ᾽ ἄν τις, φησίν,
καὶ τὰς καλουμένας ἀκταίας, ὅπερ ἐστὶ καὶ πολυτελέστατον ἐν τοῖς Περσικοῖς περιβλήμασιν. ἐστὶν δὲ τοῦτο
σπαθητὸν ἰσχύος καὶ κουφότητος χάριν: καταπέπασται
δὲ χρυσοῖς κέγχροις: οἱ δὲ κέγχροι νήματι πορφυρῷ
πάντες εἰς τὴν εἴσω μοῖραν ἅμματ᾽ ἔχουσιν ἀνὰ μέσον.'
τούτοις πᾶσι χρῆσθαί φησι τοὺς Ἐφεσίους ἐπιδόντας εἰς
τρυφήν.
