[9]

ἄνδρες δ᾽ ἀξιόλογοι γεγόνασι τοῦ αὐτοῦ γένους Διόδωροι δύο οἱ ῥήτορες, ὧν ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐκαλεῖτο Ζωνᾶς, ἀνὴρ πολλοὺς ἀγῶνας ἠγωνισμένος ὑπὲρ τῆς Ἀσίας, κατὰ δὲ τὴν Μιθριδάτου τοῦ βασιλέως ἔφοδον αἰτίαν ἐσχηκὼς ὡς ἀφιστὰς παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὰς πόλεις ἀπελύσατο τὰς διαβολὰς ἀπολογησάμενος: τοῦ δὲ νεωτέρου φίλου ἡμῖν γενομένου καὶ ἱστορικὰ συγγράμματα ἔστι καὶ μέλη καὶ ἄλλα ποιήματα τὴν ἀρχαίαν γραφὴν [p. 878] ἐπιφαίνοντα ἱκανῶς. Ξάνθος δὲ ὁ παλαιὸς συγγραφεὺς Λυδὸς μὲν λέγεται, εἰ δὲ ἐκ Σάρδεων οὐκ ἴσμεν.
