Translation
[Superintendents] of the choruses used to be elected,1 to ensure that the chorus-members did not behave in a disorderly manner in the theatres.2 But others say that ['superindents'] are officials of the port, appointed by lot each year, and given the responsibility of supervising the shipping-in of grain into the Athenian port and compelling the importers to convey [it] into the town.3
