Translation
An Athenian, a rhetor, and a demagogue unscrupulous and fortunate. He had previously been a sailor.1 He wrote a Defence to Olympias On the Twelve Years;2 a History about Delos and the birth of Leto's children. This man suspended the jurycourts and rhetorical contests.3 He died under [the regime of] Antipater.4
