καὶ Μένανδρος δ᾽ ἐν Κιθαριστῇ περί τινος μουσικευομένου λέγων φησί [p. 296]
οὐδέ τις ἦν κείνοισιν Ἄρης θεὸς οὐδὲ Κυδοιμὸς
οὐδὲ Ζεὺς βασιλεὺς οὐδὲ Κρόνος οὐδὲ Ποσειδῶν,
ἀλλὰ Κύπρις βασίλεια.
τὴν οἵ γ᾽ εὐσεβέεσσιν ἀγάλμασιν ἱλάσκοντο
γραπτοῖς τε ζῴοισι μύροισί τε δαιδαλεόδμοις
σμύρνης τ᾽ ἀκρήτου θυσίαις λιβάνου τε θυώδους,
ξανθῶν τε σπονδὰς μελίτων ῥίπτοντες ἐς οὖδας.
φιλόμουσον εἶν᾽ αὐτὸν πάνυ
ἀκούσματ᾽ εἰς τρυφήν τε παιδεύεσθ᾽ ἀεί.
