[Genitive] Iadmonos. He was a Samian. Rhodopis was his slave, a Thracian woman by birth who became a courtesan. Kharaxos, Sappho's brother, married her and had children by her. See under "Aesop the Samian."¹

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἰάδμων, Ἰάδμονος. ἦν δὲ Σάμιος· οὗτινος καὶ ἡ Ῥοδῶπις δούλη ἦν, ἣν ἑταίραν γενομένην, Θρᾷσσαν τὸ γένος, Χάραξος ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σαπφοῦς ἔλαβε γυναῖκα καὶ ἐξ αὐτῆς γεννᾷ. καὶ ζήτει ἐν τῷ Αἴσωπος Σάμιος.
