Χορός

εὐδαιμονεῖ γʼ ἅνθρωπος. οὐκ ἤκουσας οἷ προβαίνει

τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦ βουλεύματος; καρπώσεται γὰρ ἁνὴρ

ἐν τἀγορᾷ καθήμενος·

κἂν εἰσίῃ τις Κτησίας

ἢ συκοφάντης ἄλλος, οἰμώζων
840

καθεδεῖται·

842

Χορός

οὐδʼ ἄλλος ἀνθρώπων ὑποψωνῶν σε πημανεῖ τι,

οὐδʼ ἐξομόρξεται Πρέπις τὴν εὐρυπρωκτίαν σοι,

οὐδʼ ὠστιεῖ Κλεωνύμῳ·

χλαῖναν δʼ ἔχων φανὴν δίει
845

κοὐ ξυντυχών σʼ Ὑπέρβολος

δικῶν ἀναπλήσει·

848

Χορός

οὐδʼ ἐντυχὼν ἐν τἀγορᾷ πρόσεισί σοι βαδίζων

Κρατῖνος ἀεὶ κεκαρμένος μοιχὸν μιᾷ μαχαίρᾳ,

ὁ περιπόνηρος Ἀρτέμων,
850

ὁ ταχὺς ἄγαν τὴν μουσικήν,

ὄζων κακὸν τῶν μασχαλῶν

πατρὸς Τραγασαίου·

854

Χορός

οὐδʼ αὖθις αὖ σε σκώψεται Παύσων ὁ παμπόνηρος

Λυσίστρατός τʼ ἐν τἀγορᾷ, Χολαργέων ὄνειδος,
855

ὁ περιαλουργὸς τοῖς κακοῖς,

ῥιγῶν τε καὶ πεινῶν ἀεὶ

πλεῖν ἢ τριάκονθʼ ἡμέρας

τοῦ μηνὸς ἑκάστου.

CHORUS

without being accosted on the public place by any importunate fellow, neither by Cratinus,¹ shaven in the fashion of the debauchees, nor by this musician, who plagues us with his silly improvisations, Artemo, with his arm-pits stinking as foul as a goat, like his father before him.
