[Meaning] both the choral dancers and the place [where they perform]. Homer [says]: "in [it] he decorated a dancing-floor". [That is, a place] in which the body of choral dancers [would perform].1
And [there is] a saying: "a tragic chorus [is drawn] from 15 persons, a comic chorus from 24 persons."2
