[43] πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα καταγέλαστα πέπρακται Τιμάρχῳ κατʼ ἐκείνους τοὺς χρόνους, ἓν δὲ ὃ καὶ διηγήσασθαι ὑμῖν βούλομαι. ἦν μὲν Διονυσίων τῶν ἐν ἄστει ἡ¹ πομπή, ἐπόμπευον δʼ ἐν ταὐτῷ ὅ τε Μισγόλας ὁ τοῦτον ἀνειληφὼς καὶ Φαῖδρος Καλλίου Σφήττιος. συνθεμένου δʼ αὐτοῖς συμπομπεύειν Τιμάρχου τουτουί, οἱ μὲν περὶ τὴν ἄλλην παρασκευὴν διέτριβον, οὗτος δὲ οὐκ ἐπανῆκε. παρωξυμμένος δὲ πρὸς τὸ πρᾶγμα ὁ Μισγόλας ζήτησιν αὐτοῦ ἐποιεῖτο μετὰ τοῦ Φαίδρου, ἐξαγγελθέντος δʼ αὐτοῖς εὑρίσκουσι τοῦτον ἐν συνοικίᾳ μετὰ ξένων τινῶν συναριστῶντα. διαπειλησαμένου δὲ τοῦ Μισγόλα καὶ τοῦ Φαίδρου τοῖς ξένοις, καὶ κελευόντων ἤδη ἀκολουθεῖν εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, ὅτι μειράκιον ἐλεύθερον διέφθειραν, φοβηθέντες οἱ ξένοι ᾤχοντο² καταλιπόντες τὰ παρεσκευασμένα.

[43] Among the many ridiculous things which Timarchus did in those days was one which I wish to relate to you. The occasion was the procession at the City Dionysia. Misgolas, who had taken possession of him, and Phaedrus, son of Callias, of the deme Sphettus, were to march in the procession together. Now Timarchus here had agreed to join them in the procession, but they were busy with their general preparations, and he failed to come back. Misgolas, provoked at the thing, proceeded to make search for him in company with Phaedrus. They got word of him and found him at lunch with some foreigners in a lodging-house. Misgolas and Phaedrus threatened the foreigners and ordered them to follow straight to the lock-up for having corrupted a free youth. The foreigners were so scared that they dropped everything and ran away as fast as they could go.
