Translation:
Paraskenia seems to be the name for the place, by the skene [in a theater], designated for the preparations for the contest. But Didymus maintains that the entrances on each side of the orchestra are so called.
Greek Original:
Paraskênia: eoike paraskênia kaleisthai ho para tên skênên apodedeigmenos topos tais eis ton agôna paraskeuais. ho de Didumos tas hekaterôthen tês orchêstras eisodous houtô phêsi kaleisthai.
Notes:
An abridgement of Harpokration s.v., generated in the first instance by the appearance of this neuter plural in Demosthenes 21.17 (web address 1).
For the skene see generally sigma 569; for the orchestra, omicron 672.
