Translation
[Aristoxenus] of Cyrene; [the man] who because of his unsurpassable luxuriance used to water the lettuces in his garden with honeyed wine in the evenings, and used to say that green flatcakes were [thus] being supplied to him.
Greek original
Ἀριστόξενος, Κυρηναῖος· ὅστις ὑπὸ τῆς ἀνυπερβλήτου τρυφῆς τὰς ἐν τῷ κήπῳ θρίδακας οἰνομέλιτι ἑσπέρας ἐπότιζε, καὶ χλωροὺς πλακοῦντας ἔλεγεν ἀναπέμπεσθαι αὑτῷ.

Aristoxenus of Cyrene was a hedonist philosopher, not to be confused with his namesake alpha 3297.
