who showed themselves generous men, and delivered their
country from tyranny.1 He says, that they received Pisistratus after his banishment and got him called home, on

the damsel saying to her mother, Do you see, mother, how
I am not known by Pisistratus according to nature? the
Alcmaeonidae were so offended at this villany, that they
expelled the tyrant.
