Ἰσαίου λόγος ἐστὶ πρὸς ὀργεῶνας, ὀργεῶνες δ’ εἰσὶν οἱ ἐπὶ τιμῇ θεῶν ἢ ἡρώων συνιόντες· ὀργιάζειν γάρ ἐστι τὸ θύειν καὶ τὰ νομιζόμενα δρᾶν, ἤτοι παρὰ τὸ ὀρέγειν τὼ χεῖρε, ἢ παρὰ τὰ ὄργια, ἢ διὰ τὸ ἐν ταῖς ὀργάσι καὶ τοῖς ἄλσεσι τὰ ἱερὰ δρᾶν. οἱ μέντοι ποιηταὶ ἔταττον τοὔνομα ἁπλῶς ἐπὶ τῶν ἱερέων, ὡς Ἀντίμαχός τέ που καὶ Αἰσχύλος ἐν Μυσοῖς. μήποτε δὲ ὕστερον νενόμισται τὸ ἐπὶ τιμῇ τινὰς τῶν ἀποθανόντων συνιέναι καὶ ὀργεῶνας ὁμοίως ὠνομάσθαι, ὡς ἔστι συνιδεῖν ἐκ τῶν Θεοφράστου διαθηκῶν.
