[39] I took my friends’ advice, and was formally reconciled to them on the Acropolis¹ in the presence of witnesses, who performed the ceremony near the temple of Athena. Afterwards, they met me and spoke to me in temples, in the Agora, in my house, in their own—everywhere in fact.

[39] καὶ ἐγὼ πεισθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν φίλων διηλλάγην τούτοις ἐν τῇ πόλει¹ ἐναντίον μαρτύρων, οἵπερ διήλλαττον ἡμᾶς πρὸς τῷ νεῷ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς· καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο συνῆσάν μοι καὶ διελέγοντο ἐν τοῖς ἱεροῖς, ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ, ἐν τῇ ἐμῇ οἰκίᾳ, ἐν τῇ σφετέρᾳ αὐτῶν² καὶ ἑτέρωθι πανταχοῦ.

Notes on the current edition

On the Choreutes

1. Scheibe conjectured ἐν Διιπολείοις for ἐν τῇ πόλει, on the ground that Harpocration quotes the word Diipoleia as occurring in this speech. The Diipoleia (cf. Antiph. 2.4 ) was an ancient festival celebrated annually in the first week of June on the Acropolis in honor of Zeus Polieus. Its date would suit the context; but the fact that the last part of the speech is apparently incomplete makes it possible that Harpocration is quoting from some lost passage.
