"This is the source of those Kleistheneses and Timarchoses and all those who for the sake of money make their youth accessible and those not motivated by money but by something else, and those motivated by nothing at all but [sc. acting] out of accursed pleasure. All at once the effeminate are all daintily-coiffed."
