Χορός

χωρῶμεν εἰς ἐκκλησίαν ὦνδρες· ἠπείλησε γὰρ

ὁ θεσμοθέτης, ὃς ἂν
290

μὴ πρῲ πάνυ τοῦ κνέφους

ἥκῃ κεκονιμένος,

στέργων σκοροδάλμῃ

βλέπων ὑπότριμμα, μὴ

δώσειν τὸ τριώβολον.

ἀλλʼ ὦ Χαριτιμίδη

καὶ Σμίκυθε καὶ Δράκης

ἕπου κατεπείγων,

σαυτῷ προσέχων ὅπως

μηδὲν παραχορδιεῖς
295

ὧν δεῖ σʼ ἀποδεῖξαι·

ὅπως δὲ τὸ σύμβολον

λαβόντες ἔπειτα πλησίοι

καθεδούμεθʼ, ὡς

ἂν χειροτονῶμεν

ἅπανθʼ ὁπόσʼ ἂν δέῃ

τὰς ἡμετέρας φίλας.

καίτοι τί λέγω; φίλους

γὰρ χρῆν μʼ ὀνομάζειν.

Chorus
Singing.

Let us go to the Assembly then, fellow-citizens; 290 for the Thesmothetes have declared that only those who arrive at daybreak 291 292 with haggard eye and covered with dust, without having snatched time to eat anything but a snack of garlic-pickle, shall alone receive the triobolus. 293 Walk up smartly, Charitimides, Smicythus and Draces, and 295 do not fail in any point of your part; let us first demand our fee and then vote for all that may perchance be useful for our partisans. . . Ah! what am I saying? I meant to say, for our fellow-citizens.
