Note 375 — FIRST SECTION. (continued 3)

Paedagog., bk. III. ch. 3., “πρὸς τοὺς καλλωπιζομένους τῶν ἀνδρῶν”: ἕνα τινὰ τούτων τῶν ἀγεννῶν παιδαγωγικῶς ἐπιπλήττων ὁ Διογένης, ὁπηνίκα ἐπιπράσκετο, ἀνδρείως σφόδρα, Ἧκε, εἶπεν, μειρακίον, ἄνδρα ὠνῆσαι σαυτῷ· ἀμφιβόλω λόγῳ τὸ πορνικὸν ἐκείνου σωφρονίζων· τὸ γὰρ ἄνδρας ὄντας, ξύρεσθαι καὶ λεαίνεσθαι, _πῶς οὐκ ἀγεννές_; (“To men who bedizen their persons”: One of these base fellows Diogenes rebuked like a schoolmaster. At the very time he was on sale as a slave, he cried with wonderful boldness: ‘Come, young man, buy a man for yourself’: by this double entendre chastising his meretricious habits. For is it not a base thing, that men should have their bodies shaved and polished smooth? )
