Χορός

ὦ γεννικώτατον κρέας ψυχήν τʼ ἄριστε πάντων,

καὶ τῇ πόλει σωτὴρ φανεὶς ἡμῖν τε τοῖς πολίταις,

ὡς εὖ τὸν ἄνδρα ποικίλως θʼ ὑπῆλθες ἐν λόγοισιν.

πῶς ἄν σʼ ἐπαινέσαιμεν οὕτως ὥσπερ ἡδόμεσθα;

Oh! vigorous assailant and intrepid heart! See how you have totally routed him in this duel of abuse, so that to us and to the citizens you seem the saviour of the city. 460 How shall I give tongue to my joy and praise you sufficiently?
