Translation:
[A kind of] musical pipe-playing, just like Lydian and Phrygian.[1]
"He chose a moderate and frugal diet which neither did him harm through its poverty nor made him soft through its richness -- but one which was intermediate and harmonious, truly befitting the Dorian mode of his fortune."[2]
And [there is] a proverb: "from a Dorian to a Phrygian."[3] "I shall not present well-rounded phrases [as proems and preludes ...] but setting forth the plain expressions of my thoughts [I will compete on the basis of facts], provided only that I change the tone of my language from disputation to vehemence, [or as] they say, from a Dorian to a Phrygian [mode].[4]
