[sc. The term comes] from processions.1 That is what they used to call the parades that were conducted for the gods. Also [called] processionals [are] the poems recited by lyric poets at the festivals of the gods.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Προσόδια· ἀπὸ τῶν προσόδων. οὕτω δὲ ἔλεγον τὰς προσαγομένας τοῖς θεοῖς πομπάς. καὶ προσόδια τὰ εἰς πανηγύρεις θεῶν ποιήματα παρὰ τῶν λυρικῶν λεγόμενα.
