[The name of] one of the Giants, [the one] who survived.1
But [sc. a different name is] Aristeus, [genitive] Aristeos.2
And Aristion likewise.3 He is a Samian or Plataian, and, since a lad, a companion of Demosthenes; he was sent by him to Hephaistion for negotiations. Hyperides mentions him in the [speech] Against Demosthenes.4
Aristaios, the story goes, was the only Giant to survive on the Sicilian mountain called Etna; the fire of heaven did not reach him, nor did Etna crush him.5
