ὁ δὲ Σώκλαρος ὑπερδικῶν τῶν νεανίσκων ‘ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ τὸν Πιττακόν’ ἔφη ‘ζοφοδορπίδαν ὁ Ἀλκαῖος 1 ὡς ὀψὲ δειπνοῦντα λέγεται προσειπεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἀδόξοις τὰ πολλὰ καὶ φαύλοις ἡδόμενον συμπόταις: τὸ μέντοι πρωίτερον 2 δειπνεῖν ὄνειδος ἦν πάλαι, καὶ τὸ ἀκράτισμά φασιν 3 οὕτω λέγεσθαι διὰ τὴν ἀκρασίαν.’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1892. 4.
