Ì·Ùfi˜ ÂåÛÈÓ, œÛappleÂÚ apple·Ú’ ìÌÖÓ Ôî ÎÔ˘ÚÂÖ˜. (For this singular species of<br />
barber shop, c.f. the already adduced passages relating to the later<br />
Spartan practices in the ‚·Ï·ÓÂÖ·: Philostratus, Vita Apollonii, IV, 27<br />
and Apollonius, Epistola 63). apple·Ú’ ÔR˜ ¬Ù·Ó ÂåÛ¤ÏıˆÛÈÓ, apple·Ú¤¯Ô˘ÛÈÓ<br />

they must necessarily assume obscene postures in allowing the ‰Úˆapple·-<br />

cf. Clement, Paedagogus, III, 3, 15.4; and especially, for details of such<br />

[ηd is omitted by Schweighäuser; I suspect, though, something<br />
like: ηd ÙáÓ ^EÏÏ. ηd ÙáÓ ÙcÓ \IÙ·Ï. ÔåÎ.]. Notice<br />
that ¯ÚÉÛı·È Ùˇá ÓfiÌˇˆ ÙÔ‡Ùˇˆ implies a natural acceptance of the<br />
practice in the way that we consider it unobjectionable to go to the<br />
barber to have our face shaven or our hair cut.<br />
The first Greeks of Magna Graecia to adopt or institute this<br />
custom were the Tarantines, according to Clearchus, apud Athenaeus,<br />
XII, 522d: T·Ú·ÓÙ›ÓÔ˘˜ ‰¤ ÊËÛÈ KϤ·Ú¯Ô˜ âÓ ÙÂÙ¿ÚÙˇˆ B›ˆÓ àÏÎcÓ<br />

(probably ≠EÏÏËÛÈÓ is meant) ηٿÚÍ·È. This thorough<br />
depilation is associated, as we should expect by now, with ÙÚ˘Ê‹. (For<br />
the degree of ÙÚ˘Ê‹ of the Tarantines, and the consequent ≈‚ÚȘ<br />
which they assumed and perpetrated, and the Ó¤ÌÂÛȘ which they<br />
therefore attracted, see what follows in Athenaeus).<br />
Remarking on the evil influence of Philip in Thessaly and<br />
everywhere, Theopompus (Fr. 217b Grenfell-Hunt apud Athenaeus,<br />
VI, 260e) observes: º›ÏÈappleappleÔ˜ ÙÔf˜ ÌbÓ ÎÔÛÌ›Ô˘˜ Ùa õıË Î·d ÙÔf˜<br />
