καὶ ὁ μὲν ἄρχων ἐπιμελεῖται τούτων. ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς πρῶτον μὲν μυστηρίων ἐπιμελεῖται μετὰ τῶν ἐπιμελητῶν ὧν ὁ δῆμος χειροτονεῖ, δύο μὲν ἐξ Ἀθηναίων ἁπάντων, ἕνα δʼ ἐξ Εὐμολπιδῶν, ἕνα δʼ ἐκ Κηρύκων. ἔπειτα Διονυσίων τῶν ἐπὶ Ληναίῳ· ταῦτα δέ ἐστι πομπή τε καὶ ἀγών. τὴν μὲν οὖν πομπὴν κοινῇ πέμͅπουσιν ὅ τε βασιλεὺς καὶ οἱ ἐπιμεληταί, τὸν δὲ ἀγῶνα διατίθησιν ὁ βασιλεύς. τίθησι δὲ καὶ τοὺς τῶν λαμπάδων ἀγῶνας ἅπαντας· ὡς δʼ ἔπος εἰπεῖν καὶ τὰς πατρίους θυσίας διοικεῖ οὗτος πάσας.
