Note 826 — Chapter XXII · THE GYMNASIUM AND THE PALAESTRA

Char. xxi. αὐλίδιον παλαιστριαῖον κόνιν ἔχον καὶ σφαιριστήριον. This palaestra he lends to philosophers, sophists, fencing-masters (ὁπλόμαχοι) and musicians for their displays, at which he will himself appear on the scene rather late in order that the spectators may say one to another, “This is the owner of the palaestra.”
