Translation

When they arrive at the top of the Acropolis and pass through the gateway, they see the Maiden's temple opposite and Athena's statue that is very big, fully armed and carrying a spear in the right hand. And so the children remain quiet for a long time looking at the goddess [till] finally Dikaiopolis says: Come on, don't you want to look at the temple? And he leads them forwards.
