Μάχων δ᾽ ὁ κωμικὸς ὑδροπότου Μοσχίωνος μέμνηται.
καὶ νιγλάρους θρηνεῖν, ἐν οἷσι Λάμπρος ἐναπέθνῃσκεν,
ἄνθρωπος ὢν ὑδατοπότης, μινυρὸς ὑπερσοφιστής,
Μουσῶν σκελετός, ἀηδόνων ἠπίαλος, ὕμνος Ἅιδου.

21. ὅτι Φύλαρχός φησι Θεόδωρον τὸν Λαρισσαῖον ὑδροπότην γενέσθαι, τὸν ἀλλοτρίως ἀεί ποτε πρὸς Ἀντίγονον ἐσχηκότα τὸν βασιλέα, φησὶ δὲ καὶ τοὺς Ἴβηρας πάντας ὑδροποτεῖν καίτοι πλουσιωτάτους ἀνθρώπων ὄντας, μονοσιτεῖν τε αὐτοὺς ἀεὶ λέγει διὰ μικρολογίαν, ἐσθῆτας δὲ φορεῖν πολυτελεστάτας.

Ἡγήσανδρος δ᾽ ὁ Δελφὸς Ἀγχίμολον καὶ Μόσχον φησὶ τοὺς ἐν Ἤλιδι σοφιστεύσαντας ὑδροποτῆσαι πάντα τὸν βίον καὶ μόνα σῦκα προσφερομένους οὐδενὸς ἧττον διακεῖσθαι σώμασιν
[p. 192]
ἐρρωμενεστέρους τὸν δ᾽ ἱδρῶτα αὐτῶν δυσώδη οὕτως ἔχειν ὡς πάντας αὐτοὺς ἐκκλίνειν ἐν τοῖς βαλανείοις. Μᾶτρις δ᾽ ὁ Θηβαῖος ὃν ἐβίω χρόνον
οὐδὲν ἐσιτεῖτο ἢ μυρρίνης ὀλίγον, οἴνου δὲ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων πάντων ἀπείχετο πλὴν ὕδατος, ὑδροπότης δ᾽ ἦν καὶ Λάμπρος ὁ μουσικός, περὶ οὗ Φρύνιχός φησι:
