Translation
[Meaning] to honor a god with celebrations. Thus Eupolis in Demes [writes]: "now we too should dedicate to these the twin woolly wreaths1 and approach in celebration. Hail everyone, we welcome [you]!"2 Aristophanes in Peace [writes]: "and with holy sacrifices and grand processions we all, on our own, glorify you, mistress, always".3 Hermippus in Breadsellers [writes]: "come now, glorify the same gods I do and burn the incense, now that your son has been saved".4
