οἱ δὲ ἄρχοντες εἰς τὸ θέατρον ἐβάδιζον, κἀγὼ σὺν αὐτοῖς. τὸ δὲ θέατρόν ἐστιν ὥσπερ φάραγξ κοῖλον, πλὴν οὐ μακρὸν ἑκατέρωθεν, ἀλλὰ στρογγύλον ἐξἡμίσους, οὐκ αὐτόματον, ἀλλʼ ᾠκοδομημένον λίθοις. ἴσως δέ μου καταγελᾷς, ὅτι σοι διηγοῦμαι σαφῶς εἰδότι ταῦτα. πρῶτον μὲν οὖν πολύν τινα χρόνον ἄλλα τινὰ ἔπραττεν ὁ ὄχλος, καὶ ἐβόων ποτὲ μὲν πρᾴως καὶ ἱλαροὶ πάντες, ἐπαινοῦντές τινας, ποτὲ δὲ σφόδρα καὶ ὀργίλως.
