γέλως ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐγένετο ὡς οὐκ ἐν καιρῷ λεγομένοις. Διονυσόδωρος δέ, παῦσαι, ἔφη, βαρβαρικὰ ἡμῖν ᾄδων, ποῦ γὰρ ἂν εὑρίσκοιμεν τὸν ζῆλον ἐπὶ τούτου καὶ παρὰ τίνι; καὶ σὺ γὰρ φθέγγῃ, κάθαρμα; εἶπεν ὁ Ἴων, καὶ Διονυσόδωρος ἀντελοιδορεῖτο τὰ εἰκότα. ἀλλʼ ὁ γραμματικὸς Ἱστιαῖος ὁ βέλτιστος, παύσασθε, ἔφη· ἐγὼ γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐπιθαλάμιον ἀναγνώσομαι. καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀνεγίνωσκεν.
