XVI THUCYDIDES the expulsion of the Pisistratidae (Herod, v. 77; C. I. A. 334 and Suppl. ii)^ There is still to be seen the basis of some of the 'many statues' which Micythus dedicated at Olympia (Herod, vii. 171; I. G. A. 532): and 'pillars' from the ruins of the original temple of Artemis at Ephesus bear traces of the dedication Bao-iXcrs Kpoto-os dv£67//c€( Herod, i. 92 ; Hicks, Manual of Greek Historical Inscriptions, p. 5 : I. G. A. 493). Such testimony is still more needed for the verification of later historians. An inscription (C. I. A. 273, cp. 22 a Suppl. i) corrects a name found in Diodorus, xii. 58, and also in Athenaeus, v. p. 218. By these writers the archon of the year Ol. 88. 3 (b. c. 426) is called Euthydemus, and, by the author of the argument to Aristophanes' Acharnians, Euthymenes. But, as is shown by the inscription referred to (the long inscription which records the expenditure of the sacred treasure of Athens, 01. 86. 4—89. 2), the real name was Euthynus, a name which has been correctly preserved in the anony- mous Life of Thucydides (p. 14, 1. 35, Bekker), and by the Scholiast on Lucian Tim. 30. In Plutarch (Pericles xiii), we find what at first sight appears to be an unfounded and ' "'E.Qvta 'RoiojtSjv koI .aKihiaiv Safiaaavrts iraiSfs ' A6iva.iii>v (ipyi.aaiv iv noXtfiov Sfcr/jo) tv d^XvutVTi at5t]p(<}> la^caav {J/?piv rwv Tirirovs SskAtt;!' nad5( tcioK iOtaav. [Two distinct forms of the inscription existed, and fragments of both have been discovered. First were found, and edited in 1869, the letters E NAIONEPAM/ Pn05AEIA Their appearance showed that they dated from the time of Pericles: they must therefore have been copied, or restored by memory, from the original. Of an earlier inscription, being very likelj' a piece of this original itself, broken up during the Persian occupation, were found, and edited in 1887, the letters F>i ^' ;pAi A .•TON HIPPO showing that Herodotus quotes the restored inscription, in which the two hexameters must have been transposed.]
