Quoted text:
Supervising them were various officials such as the choregos (originally in charge of the chorus, later the person who financed it), and the aesymnetes who beat the time for the choral dances.
Can someone verify aesymnetes (originally spelled aissymnetes by the author) are those who beat the drum for choral dances? We could not find it online; Wikipedia says it “was the name of an ancient Greek elected office similar to, and sometimes indistinguishable from, tyrant.”
