καὶ ἄλλος δ᾽ ἐστὶν ἀρχαῖος νόμος καλούμενος;
κραδίας, ὅν φησιν Ἱππῶναξ Μίμνερμον αὐλῆσαι.
ἐν ἀρχῇ γὰρ ἐλεγεῖα μεμελοποιημένα οἱ αὐλῳδοὶ ᾖδον: τοῦτο δὲ δηλοῖ ἡ τῶν Παναθηναίων γραφὴ
ἡ περὶ τοῦ μουσικοῦ ἀγῶνος. γέγονε δὲ καὶ Σακάδας
Ἀργεῖος; ποιητὴς μελῶν τε καὶ ἐλεγείων μεμελοποιημένων:
[p. 495]
ὁ δ᾽ αὐτὸς καὶ ποιητὴς ἀγαθὸς καὶ τὰ Πύθια τρὶς νενικηκὼς ἀναγέγραπται: τούτου καὶ
Πίνδαρος μνημονεύει:
τόνων γοῦν τριῶν ὄντων κατὰ Πολύμνηστον καὶ Σακάδαν, τοῦ τε Δωρίου
καὶ Φρυγίου καὶ Λυδίου, ἐν ἑκάστῳ τῶν εἰρημένων
τόνων στροφὴν ποιήσαντά φασι τὸν Σακάδαν διδάξαι
ᾁδειν τὸν χορὸν Δωριστὶ μὲν τὴν πρώτην, Φρυγιστὶ δὲ τὴν δευτέραν, Λυδιστὶ δὲ τὴν τρίτην: καλεῖσθαι δὲ Τριμερῆ τὸν νόμον τοῦτον διὰ τὴν
μεταβολήν. ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐν Σικυῶνι ἀναγραφῇ τῇ περὶ τῶν ποιητῶν Κλονᾶς εὑρετὴς ἀναγέγραπται
τοῦ τριμεροῦς νόμου.
