antiphon

In this context some discussions with Antiphon the sophist deserve record.

To test his qualifications for election he was given an antiphon to set in four parts, and locked up in a room to fulfil his task.

Antiphon also tells us that he killed one of his servants by striking him with a club, at the gymnasium of Sibyrtus.

The bishops and other ministers of the church advance singing the antiphon, 'Zaccheus, make haste and come down,' etc.

Antiphon is also said to have composed a Τέχνη or art of Rhetoric.

Before another moon had waned, Antiphon returned from Oropus, whither he had been sent to consult the oracle.

The test for this admission was setting an antiphon in four parts.

Does it not escape him that Antiphon was then an alien, having suffered expulsion from the Lexiarchic list.

At this end every one laughed, talked, sang noisy songs; while at the top the psalms were intoned and the antiphon was sung.

But there was Antiphon—son to Menecrates—and a whole mina; why not him?
