Fragment 127
127Aristides says:—
Τὸ γάνος the brightness standing over the whole city, οὐ διαφθεῖρον τὰς ὄψεις not destroying the sight, as Sappho says, but developing at once and crowning and watering with cheerfulness; in no way ὑακινθίνῳ ἄνθει ὅμοιον like a hyacinth-flower, but such as earth and sun never yet showed to men.’
