Note 25:1 — BOOK I.—EPITOME.

Charles Duke Yonge translation

"ὑπόρχημα, a hyporcheme or choral hymn to Apollo, near akin to the Pæan. It was of a very lively character, accompanied with dancing (whence the name) and pantomimic action; and is compared by Athenæus to the κόρδαξ (630 E). Pindar's Fragments, 71-82, are remains of hyporchemes."—Liddell & Scott, in voc. ὑπόρχημα.
