Πολυκράτης ὁ Σάμιος ἐν Μούσαις ἦν, καὶ Ἀνακρέοντα ἐτίμα τὸν Τήιον καὶ διὰ σπουδῆς ἦγε, καὶ ἔχαιρεν αὐτῷ καὶ τοῖς ἐκείνου μέλεσιν. οὐκ ἐπαινῶ δὲ αὐτοῦ τὴν τρυφήν. Ἀνακρέων ἐπῄνεσε Σμερδίην θερμότερον τὰ παιδικὰ Πολυκράτους, εἶτα ἥσθη τὸ [p. 97] μειράκιον τῷ ἐπαίνῳ, καὶ τὸν Ἀνακρέοντα ἠσπάζετο σεμνῶς εὖ μάλα, ἐρῶντα τῆς ψυχῆς, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ τοῦ σώματος. μὴ γάρ τις ἡμῖν διαβαλλέτω πρὸς θεῶν τὸν ποιητὴν τὸν Τήιον, μηδ᾽ ἀκόλαστον εἶναι λεγέτω.
