Greek Original:Λέσχη: πολλὴ ὁμιλία, φλυαρία. τὸ δὲ παλαιὸν αἱ καθέδραι καὶ οἱ τόποι, ἐν οἷς εἰώθεσαν ἀθροιζόμενοι φιλοσοφεῖν, λέσχαι ἐκαλοῦντο. οὕτω φησὶ καὶ Ἱεροκλῆς ἐν α# Φιλοσοφουμένων. Ἡρόδοτος: καίτοι γενομένης λέσχης, ὃς γένοιτο αὐτῶν ἄριστος. ἐμνήσθην, ὁσάκις ἀμφότεροι ἥλιον ἐν λέσχῃ κατεδύσαμεν. ἀλλὰ σὺ μέν που, ξεῖν' Ἁλικαρνησεῦ, τετράπαλαι σποδίη: αἱ δὲ τεαὶ ζώουσιν ἀηδόνες. Λέσχη δὲ παρὰ Ἡσιόδῳ ἡ κάμινος.
