“de pictoribus: Post Zeuxis atque Parrhasius non multum aetate distantes circa Peloponnesiaca ambo tempora （nam cum Parrhasio sermo Socratis apud Xenophontem invenitur） plurimum arti addiderunt. quorum prior ... secundus examinasse subtilius lineas traditur ... ille vero ita circumscripsit omnia, ut eum legum latorem vocent, quia deorum atque heroum effigies, quales ab eo sunt traditae, ceteri tanquam ita necesse sit sequuntur.” Quint. 12. 10. 4 “Παρράσιος: ... Ἰόβας δὲ ἐν ὀγδόῃ Περὶ Ζωγράφων ... φησὶν αὐτὸν εἶναι υἱὸν καὶ μαθητὴν Εὐήνορος, Ἐφέσιον δὲ τὸ γένος.” Harpocr. “Nonagesima Olympiade fuere ... Evenor pater Parrhasii et praeceptor maximi pictoris.” Plin. N.H. 35. 60
