[3] Hence Philippides, in his abuse of Stratocles, wrote1:—
Who abridged the whole year into a single month,
and with reference to the quartering of Demetrius in the Parthenon:—
Who took the acropolis for a caravansery,
And introduced to its virgin goddess his courtesans.

1 Part of the fragment cited at xii. 4.
