Translation
Son of Aristokrates; tyrant of Italian Cumae; a man who because of his birth was not just an ordinary man; he was called 'Softy'1 by the citizens -- and in time the nickname was more familiar than his [real] name -- either because he was an effeminate boy and let himself be treated like a girl, or because he was by nature mild and slow to anger.
