Reading edition
Pauly Wissowa s.v. Ephesus, pp. 2788–9, quoting Suid. s.v. Aristarchos. The rope with which the Ephesians bound their city to the temple during the siege by Croesus and the liberal contribution by Croesus to the rebuilding of the temple are no evidence, pace E. Curtius, Ephesus, pp. 14–15, that the government of the city at this period passed for a time into the hands of the priesthood.
