τὸν δὲ Μαρσύαν φασί τινες Μάσσην καλεῖσθαι:
οἱ δ᾽ οὔ, ἀλλὰ Μαρσύαν εἶναι δ᾽ αὐτὸν Ὑάγνιδος υἱόν, τοῦ πρώτου εὑρόντος τὴν αὐλητικὴν τέχνην.
ὅτι δ᾽ ἐστὶν Ὀλύμπου ὁ ἁρμάτιος νόμος, ἐκ τῆς Γλαύκου ἀναγραφῆς τῆς ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀρχαίων ποιητῶν μάθοι ἄν τις, καὶ ἔτι γνοίη ὅτι Στησίχορος ὁ Ἱμεραῖος
οὔτ᾽ Ὀρφέα οὔτε Τέρπανδρον οὔτ᾽ Ἀρχίλοχον
οὔτε Θαλήταν ἐμιμήσατο, ἀλλ᾽ Ὄλυμπον, χρησάμενος
τῷ ἁρματίῳ νόμῳ καὶ τῷ κατὰ δάκτυλον εἴδει, ὃ
τινες ἐξ ὀρθίου νόμου φασὶν εἶναι. ἄλλοι δέ τινες ὑπὸ Μυσῶν εὑρῆσθαι τοῦτον τὸν νόμον: γεγονέναι γάρ τινας ἀρχαίους αὐλητὰς Μυσούς.
καὶ ἄλλος δ᾽ ἐστὶν ἀρχαῖος νόμος καλούμενος;
κραδίας, ὅν φησιν Ἱππῶναξ Μίμνερμον αὐλῆσαι.
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1895. 6.
