[132] Hesychius, s. v. τριαντοπόρνη· λαμβάνουσα τριᾶντα, ὅ ἐστι λεπτὰ ἓν εἴκοσι. (under the word τριαντοπόρνη: girl who receives a trias, which is twenty one lepta).
[133] Suidas, s. v. χαλκιδῖτις. παρὰ Ἰωσήπῳ ἡ πόρνη, ἀπὸ τῆς εὐτελείας τοῦ διδομένου νομίσματος. (under the word χαλκιδῖτις: in Josephus = prostitute, from the smallness of the coin given.—Eustathius, on Homer, II. bk. XXIII., p. 1329., Od. bk. X., p. 777.
[134] Aristophanes, Thesmoph. 1207., δώσεις οὖν δραχμήν. (you will give a drachma then).
[135] Pollux, Onomast. IX. 59., οὔ φησιν εἶναι τῶν ἑταιρῶν τὰς μέσας Στατηριαίας. (he denies that of the hetaerae the middling ones were the Stater-girls).
[136] Athenaeus, XII. p. 547., states it of the Peripatetic philosopher Lycon: καὶ πόσον ἑκάστη τῶν ἑταιρουσῶν ἐπράττετο μίσθωμα, (and how much pay each of the hetaerae-girls charged).

[139] Aeschines, Orat. in Timarch. p. 134. ed. Reisk., Ἀποθαυμάζει γὰρ, εἰ μὴ πάντες μέμνησθ’, ὅτι καθ’ ἕκαστον ἐνιαυτὸν ἡ βουλὴ πωλεῖ τὸ πορνικὸν τέλος· καὶ τοὺς πριαμένους τὸ τέλος τοῦτο οὐκ εἰκάζειν, ἀλλ’ ἀκριβῶς εἰδέναι τοὺς ταύτῃ χρωμένους τῇ ἐργασίᾳ· ὁπότε οὖν δὴ τετόλμηκα ἀντιγράψασθαι, πεπορνευμένῳ Τιμάρχῳ μὴ ἐξεῖναι δημηγορεῖν, ἀπαιτεῖν φησὶ τὴν πρᾶξιν αὐτὴν οὐκ αἰτίαν κατηγόρου, ἀλλὰ μαρτυρίαν τελώνου τοῦ παρὰ Τιμάρχου τοῦτο ἐκλέξαντος τὸ τέλος· ἀλλὰ τοὺς τόπους ἐπερωτήσει ὅπου ἐκαθέζετο, καὶ τοὺς τελώνας, εἰ πώποτε παρ’ αὐτοῦ πορνικὸν τέλος εἰλήφασιν. (He expresses extreme surprise, though possibly you don’t all remember, at the fact that every year the senate sells the lease of the prostitution-tax; and that the purchasers do not conjecture, but know precisely, those who practise this calling. So when I have the audacity to counter-plead, that Timarchus as having exercised the trade of prostitution is not competent to address the people, he does not deny the fact charged against his client by the accuser, but says, ‘I demand the evidence of any tax-collector who collected this tax from Timarchus.’ ... but he will cross-examine as to the localities where he was established in the business, and will question the collectors as to whether they have ever levied prostitution-tax upon him).
This passage shows at the same time in the clearest way that Schneider is wrong, when in his Lexicon he explains πορνοτελώνης, occurring in Pollux. Onomast. VII. 202., IX. 29., as meaning a privileged or licenced whore-master, paying a duty to the magistrates on his trade. Besides, anything like a sanitary police supervision on the part of the Agoranomi at this period is of course out of the question. For the word ἀσφαλῶς (safely) in the fragment of Eubulus, (Athenaeus bk. XIII. p. 568), where it is said of the brothel-girls:
παρ’ ὧν βεβαίως ἀσφαλῶς τ’ ἔξεστί σοι
