Translation
[Meaning] erect-phallus-men, improvisors. Kinds of musicians. And some used to wear a wreath of ivy, but the Ithyphalloi had masks of drunkards and flowered sleeves, and a chiton down to their ankles. But the Phallophoroi used to cover their faces with a papyrus skin, wearing wreaths of ivy and violets.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Φαλλοφόροι· ἰθύφαλλοι, αὐτοκάβδαλοι. ἰδέαι μουσικῶν. καὶ οἱ μὲν κιττοῦ στέφανον ἐφόρουν, οἱ δὲ Ἰθύφαλλοι προσωπεῖα μεθυόντων εἶχον καὶ χειρῖδας ἀνθινάς, καὶ χιτῶνα μέχρι τῶν σφυρῶν. οἱ δὲ Φαλλοφόροι ἐκ βύβλου δέρματος ἔσκεπον τὰς ὄψεις, κιττῷ καὶ ἴοις στεφανούμενοι.
