Reading edition
Xenophon, Cyropaed. II. 2. 28. Hence too Cicero, Tuscul. V. 20., Haberet etiam more Graeciae quosdam adolescentes amore coniunctos (he would keep also, after the fashion of Greece, sundry young men bound to him in ties of affection); of course it is a question here of Paedophilia merely, but we have seen how readily this was confounded with Paederastia. Aristophanes, Eccles. 918.,
ἤδη τὸν ἀπ’ Ἰωνίας τρόπον τάλαινα κνησιᾷς· δοκεῖς δέ μοι καὶ λάβδα κατὰ τοὺς Λεσβίους.
(Now, wretched woman, you itch after the fashion of Ionia; and you appear to me to long even for the Lambda (licking) of the Lesbian mode). Hence motus Ionicos (Ionic movements) in Horace, Odes III. 5. 24. and Plautus, Stich. V. 7. 1., Quis Ionicus aut cinaedus qui hoc tale facere posset. (What Ionian or cinaedus is there could show himself capable of such an act as this).
