Translation
Plato [in book] 2 of Republic [uses the phrase].1 It should be written thus; for in Pindar [it is written] "she is bound by Hephaestus in the chair built by him";2 which some ignorantly write as "[she is bound] by Zeus." And they say that she was bound for plotting against Heracles.3 Klemes [recounts this].4 The story [is found] also in Epicharmus, in [his] Revellers or Hephaestus.5
