Λυκῖνος

γέλως ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐγένετο ὡς οὐκ ἐν καιρῷ λεγομένοις. Διονυσόδωρος δέ, παῦσαι, ἔφη, βαρβαρικὰ ἡμῖν ᾄδων, ποῦ γὰρ ἂν εὑρίσκοιμεν τὸν ζῆλον ἐπὶ τούτου καὶ παρὰ τίνι; καὶ σὺ γὰρ φθέγγῃ, κάθαρμα; εἶπεν ὁ Ἴων,¹ καὶ Διονυσόδωρος ἀντελοιδορεῖτο τὰ εἰκότα. ἀλλʼ ὁ γραμματικὸς Ἱστιαῖος ὁ βέλτιστος, παύσασθε, ἔφη· ἐγὼ γὰρ ὑμῖν ἐπιθαλάμιον ἀναγνώσομαι. καὶ ἀρξάμενος ἀνεγίνωσκεν.

LYCINUS

These remarks gave rise to laughter, because they were made out of season. But Dionysodorus said: “Stop your outlandish jabbering! Where can the word envy be found in that sense, and in what author?”¹ “What, do you dare open your mouth, you scum of the earth?” said Ion, and Dionysodorus began to give him back his abuse in due form. But the grammarian Histiaeus (simple soul!) said: “Stop, and I will read you a wedding-song,””

Lycinus

The unseasonableness of these remarks raised a laugh. And Dionysodorus had another criticism: ‘Spare us these provincialisms,’ he said; ‘or give us your authority for “rivality.”’ ‘Such carpings are beneath contempt,’ was the polite reply. Dionysodorus was about to return the compliment with interest, when our good man of letters intervened: ‘Stop,’ said Histiaeus, ‘and let me read you an epithalamium.’
