Thurii,[1] Pythagorean philosopher and lawgiver, who died fighting for his homeland. This man was previously a slave and a shepherd; and having been fully educated he gave laws to his fellow-citizens. Amongst these was the one concerning women going to the marketplace: the free woman would wear white, and would have one maidservant amongst her household, but the others [would be dressed] in flowery clothes.
Ζάλευκος, Λοκρὸς ἐκ Θουρίου, Πυθαγόρειος φιλόσοφος καὶ νομοθέτης, ὃς τελευτᾷ ὑπὲρ τῆς πατρίδος ἀγωνιζόμενος. ἦν δὲ οὗτος πρότερον δοῦλός τε καὶ ποιμήν: καὶ ἐκπαιδευθεὶς νόμους ἔθετο τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ πολίταις: ἐν οἷς καὶ τό, προϊούσας ἐπ' ἀγορᾶς τὰς γυναῖκας, τὴν μὲν ἐλευθέραν λευχείμονα μετὰ οἰκείων παιδίσκην μίαν ἔχουσαν, τὰς δὲ ἄλλας ἐν ἀνθινοῖς.
