Text
τὰ ἐπὶ τούτοις τίς ἰδὼν οὐκ ἐθαύμασεν, ἡ· καὶ ἀκοῇ μαθὼν οὐκ ἐξεπλάγη; πάνδημον γάρ τοι τῶν ἐθνῶν ἑορτὴν καὶ συνήθεις θέας ἀγόντων, μετὰ τῶν ἄλλως αὐτοῖς σπουδαζομένων καὶ τοὺς ἀρτίως θηρίοις κατακριθέντας πολὺς ἦν ὁλόγος ἐπιδείξεσθαι τὸν ἀγῶνα.1
Translation
But who that beheld these things would not have admired, or if they heard of them by report, would not have been astonished? For when the heathen everywhere were holding a festival and the customary shows, it was noised abroad that besides the other entertainments, the public combat of those who had lately been condemned to wild beasts would also take place.2
