Translation: Thus he[1] used to call not only
Dionysos, but also all those who celebrate the orgies; indeed the initiates do not also carry the branches. It is also a kind of wreath. "They wreathed the their heads with bacchic [flowers]."[2]
And the Pisidian [writes]: "it was possible to see many Bacchants willingly dancing the last dance."[3]
Βάκχος: οὕτως οὐ μόνον τὸν Διόνυσον ἐκάλει, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς τελοῦντας τὰ ὄργια: οὐ μὴν καὶ τοὺς κλάδους οἱ μύσται φέρουσιν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ στεφάνου εἶδος. Βάκχοισιν κεφαλὰς πολυανθέσιν ἐστέψαντο. καὶ Πισίδης: πολλοὺς δὲ Βάκχους ἦν ὁρᾶν ἀκουσίως τὴν ἐσχάτην ὄρχησιν ἐξορχουμένους.
