From the Greek.

It Is said of the inhabitants of lasus off Carla that when a certain harper was performing the people who were listening heard the bell for the opening of the fish market, and rushed off, with the exception of one man who was a little deaf. The harper, coming up, addressed him thus: "My good sir, I am much flattered by your staying to hear me when all the rest ran off at the sound of a bell.” “What?” said he, “has the fish-bell rung? Then-I’m off too. Good-by.”—Strabo.
