ἐν μέν γε Θεσσαλίᾳ τοσοῦτον ἐπέδωκεν τῆς ὀρχηστικῆς ἡ ἄσκησις, ὥστε τοὺς προστάτας καὶ προαγωνιστὰς αὐτῶν προορχηστῆρας ἐκάλουν· καὶ δηλοῦσι τοῦτο αἱ τῶν ἀνδριάντων ἐπιγραφαὶ οὓς τοῖς ἀριστεύουσιν ἀνίστασαν· προὔκρινεν γάρ, φασίν, προορχηστῆρα ἁ πόλις. καὶ αὖθις, Εἰλατίωνι τὰν εἰκόνα ὁ δᾶμος εὖ ὀρχησαμένῳ τὰν μάχαν.
