Translation
"After sailing away from Athens and arriving at the Syrian Seleucia, Asclepiodotus began to examine the customs of the people; and he said that during the entire journey he encountered only three men who were living moderately: in Antioch the philospher Hilarius;1 in the Laodicea held by the Syrians Maras the most just man of our age and the one who had gained the surname Aristeides;2 and the philosopher Domninus."3
Greek original · Adler’s text
Μέτριοι· Ἀθήνηθεν ἀποπλεύσας Ἀσκληπιόδοτος καὶ εἰς Σελεύκειαν τῆς Συρίας ἀφικόμενος διεσκοπεῖτο τὰ ἤθη τῶν ἀνθρώπων· καὶ ἐν τῇ περιόδῳ ὅλῃ τρισὶ μόνοις ἔφη ἐντετυχηκέναι μετρίως ἔχουσιν ἀνθρώποις, Ἱλαπίῳ τε τῷ φιλοσόφῳ κατ' Ἀντιόχειαν· ἐν δὲ Λαοδικείᾳ τῇ ἐχομένῃ πόλει τῶν Σύρων Μάρᾳ τῷ δικαιοτάτῳ τῶν καθ' ἡμᾶς ἀνθρώπων καὶ τὴν Ἀριστείδου ἐπωνυμίαν ἀπενεγκαμένῳ, Δομνίνῳ τε τῷ φιλοσόφῳ.
