21. τιμίας ποιοῦσι τὰς αὐλητρίδας: ‘run up the price of
flute-players’: τὸ γὰρ σπάνιον—τίμιον (Euthyd. 304B). Heindorf
aptly quotes Xen. De Vect. IV. 10 χρυσίον ὄταν πολὺ παραφανῇ
αὐτὸ μὲν ἀτιμότερον γίγνεται, τὸ δὲ ἀργύριον τιμιώτερον ποιεῖ.
25. καὶ πεπαιδευμένοι. So Athenaeus (III. 51) and the
second hand in T: B and T read πεπαιδευμένοι. Schanz brackets
πεπαιδευμένοι, but ὑπὸ ἀπαιδευσίας in l. 21 is in its favour.
οὐκ ἂν ἴδοις—ψαλτρίας. Cf. Theaet. 173D δεῖπνα καὶ σὺν
αὐλητρίσι κῶμοι, οὐδὲ ὄναρ πράττειν προσίσταται αὐτοῖς (i.e. τοῖς
ὡς ἀληθῶς φιλοσόφοις).
