Some revellers fell in with his wife, and did and said a good many ribald things. The next day when they besought Peisistratus with many tears, he said, As for you, do you try to conduct yourselves in a seemly manner hereafter, but as for my wife, she did not go out at all yesterday. [*](Musonius in Stobaeus, Florilegium, xix. 16, records a similar action on the part of Phocion.)
