Stasimon 3
[Lyric-Scene 1]
Let some one bring me a beautiful and magnificent tunic for the wedding.
Chorus
At Phanae, near the
Clepsydra, there dwells a people who have neither faith nor law, the Englottogastors, who reap, sow, pluck the vines and the figs with their tongues;
1695
they belong to a barbaric race, and among them the Philippi and the Gorgiases are to be found; 'tis these Englottogastorian Philippi who introduced the custom all over Attica
1700
of cutting out the tongue separately at sacrifices.
1705
