37. Ἀγαθοκλῆς—Πυθοκλείδης. Agathocles is mentioned
in Lach. 180D as teacher of Damon: according to the Alc. I,
118C Pythoclides also taught Pericles. A scholiast on the Alc. I
(loc. cit.) remarks: Πυθοκλείδης μουσικὸς ἦν τῆς σεμνῆς μουσικῆς
διδάσκαλος, καὶ Πυθαγόρειος, οὗ μαθητὴς Ἀγαθοκλῆς, οὗ Λαμπροκλῆς (Λάμπρος, van Prinsterer), οὗ Δάμων. With the sentiment
compare the imitation in Plut. Pericl. 4. 2 ὁ δὲ Δάμων ἔοικεν
ἄκπος ὢν σοφιστὴς καταδύεσθαι μὲν εἰς τὸ τῆς μουσικῆς ὄνομα ρπὸς
τοὺς πολλοὺς ἐπικρυπτόμενος τὴν δεινότητα.
40. ταῖς τέχναις ταύταις παραπετάσμασιν ἐχρήσαντο.
Cf. Plut. Pericl. loc. cit. οὐ μὴν ἔλαθεν ὁ Δάμων τῇ λύρᾳ παρακαλύμματι χρώμενος.
