Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Demosthenes [in the speech] On Behalf of Ktesiphon [sc. mentions them].[1] Some say that Saboi is the term for those who are dedicated to Sabazios, that is to Dionysos, just as those [dedicated] to Bacchos [are] Bacchoi. They say that Sabazios and Dionysos are the same. Thus some also say[2] that the Greeks call the Bacchoi Saboi. But Mnaseas of Patrai[3] says that Sabazios is the son of Dionysos.
