This woman was outstanding in serving [the] Persians; because of her the king said that the men had become women and the women men.1
Two Artemisias2 existed,3 Carian by nationality and queens both. The first of them lived in the Persian [era]; the younger, of whom Demosthenes makes mention in the [speech] On the freedom of the Rhodians, was daughter of Hekatomnos and both wife and sister of Mausolos.4
