Translation
['processions'] and 'to process'. Meaning abuses and to abuse. Demosthenes in the [speech] For Ktesiphon.1 The metaphor [comes] from those on wagons in the Dionysiac processions who abuse each other. Menander in Girl from Perinthos [writes]: "there are certain very abusive processions on wagons".2
