‘91. ὁ μὲν οὖν Νυμφόδωρος ταῦτα ἱστόρησεν ἐν πολλοῖς δὲ ἀντιγράφοις ἐξ ὀνόματος αὐτὸν
[p. 198] καλούμενον οὐχ εὗρον. οὐδένα δὲ ὑμῶν ἀγνοεῖν οἶμαι οὐδὲ ἃ ὁ καλὸς Ἡρόδοτος ἱστόρησε περὶ Πανιωνίου τοῦ Χίου καὶ ὧν ἐκεῖνος ἔπαθεν δικαίως ἐλευθέρων παίδων ἐκτομὰς ποιησάμενος καὶ τούτους ἀποδόμενος. ' Νικόλαος δ᾽ ὁ περιπατητικὸς καὶ Ποσειδώνιος ὁ στωικὸς ἐν ταῖς ἱστορίαις ἑκάτερος τοὺς Χίους φασὶν ἐξανδραποδισθέντας
ὑπὸ Μιθριδάτου τοῦ Καππάδοκος παραδοθῆναι τοῖς ἰδίοις δούλοις δεδεμένους, ἵν᾽ εἰς τὴν Κόλχων γῆν κατοικισθῶσιν οὕτως αὐτοῖς ἀληθῶς τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐμήνισε πρώτοις χρησαμένοις ὠνητοῖς ἀνδραπόδοις τῶν πολλῶν ὄντων κατὰ τὰς διακονίας. μήποτ᾽ οὖν διὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἡ παροιμία ‘ Χῖος δεσπότην ὠνήσατο,’ ᾗ κέχρηται Εὔπολις ἐν Φίλοις.
