Quoted text:
Athenaeus[1] (XII.3–41) reported that “To such a point had they carried their luxurious refinement that they had even trained their horses to dance at their feasts to the accompaniment of pipes. Now the people of Croton knew this when they made war on the Sybarites, as Aristotle records in his account of their Constitution.”

Yonge [tr.], Vol. 3 [London: 1854], via Tufts University’s Perseus Digital Library Project, Book XII, Chapter 1), but not exact.
