[57] ἔστι δὲ ἡ Ἄσσος ἐρυμνὴ καὶ εὐτειχής, ἀπὸ θαλάττης καὶ τοῦ λιμένος ὀρθίαν καὶ μακρὰν ἀνάβασιν ἔχουσα, ὥστ᾽ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς οἰκείως εἰρῆσθαι δοκεῖ τὸ τοῦ Στρατονίκου τοῦ κιθαριστοῦ “ Ἄσσον ἴθ᾽, ὥς κεν θᾶσσον ὀλέθρου πείραθ᾽ ἵκηαι.
”1 ὁ δὲ λιμὴν χώματι [p. 854] κατεσκεύασται μεγάλῳ. ἐντεῦθεν ἦν Κλεάνθης, ὁ στωικὸς φιλόσοφος, ὁ διαδεξάμενος τὴν Ζήνωνος τοῦ Κιτιέως σχολήν, καταλιπὼν δὲ Χρυσίππῳ τῷ Σολεῖ: ἐνταῦθα δὲ καὶ Ἀριστοτέλης διέτριψε διὰ τὴν πρὸς Ἑρμείαν τὸν τύραννον κηδείαν. ἦν δὲ Ἑρμείας εὐνοῦχος, τραπεζίτου τινὸς οἰκέτης: γενόμενος δ᾽ Ἀθήνησιν ἠκροάσατο καὶ Πλάτωνος καὶ Ἀριστοτέλους: ἐπανελθὼν δὲ τῷ δεσπότῃ συνετυράννησε, πρῶτον ἐπιθεμένῳ τοῖς περὶ Ἀταρνέα καὶ Ἄσσον χωρίοις: ἔπειτα διεδέξατο ἐκεῖνον καὶ μετεπέμψατο τόν τε Ἀριστοτέλην καὶ Ξενοκράτην καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτῶν, τῷ δ᾽ Ἀριστοτέλει καὶ θυγατέρα ἀδελφοῦ συνῴκισε. Μέμνων δ᾽ ὁ Ῥόδιος ὑπηρετῶν τότε τοῖς Πέρσαις καὶ στρατηγῶν, προσποιησάμενος φιλίαν καλεῖ πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ξενίας τε ἅμα καὶ πραγμάτων προσποιητῶν χάριν, συλλαβὼν δ᾽ ἀνέπεμψεν ὡς τὸν βασιλέα, κἀκεῖ κρεμασθεὶς ἀπώλετο: οἱ φιλόσοφοι δ᾽ ἐσώθησαν φεύγοντες τὰ χωρία ἃ οἱ Πέρσαι κατέσχον.
