Quoted text:

Others were slaves, and then there were the Greek flute-girls. (For an idea of the disparaging of practical music see Boethius, who wrote at the beginning of the sixth century AD, Principles of Music.) (See Curt Sachs,[1] The Rise of Music in the Ancient World: East and West [1943].)

Can you help us find the place in the Sachs text identified earlier (Curt Sachs, The Rise of Music in the Ancient World: East and West [New York: 1943]) where this might be relevant?

Please confirm if Boethius is excerpted here and/or if this concept about sex and stringed instruments is in here; if so, what page(s) is/are it/they on?
