[8] Ἡ μὲν οὖν πρόφασις ἦν τιμῆσαι Διονύσιον, ἡ δὲ ἀλήθεια Καλλιρρόην ἰδεῖν. Ἦν δὲ καὶ κλέος μέγα τῆς γυναικὸς ἐπὶ τῆς Ἀσίας πάσης καὶ ἀνέβαινεν ἤδη μέχρι τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως ὄνομα Καλλιρρόης, οἷον οὐδὲ Ἀριάδνης οὐδὲ Λήδας. Τότε δὲ καὶ τῆς δόξης εὑρέθη κρείττων: προῆλθε γὰρ μελανείμων, λελυμένη τὰς τρίχας: ἀστράπτουσα δὲ τῷ προσώπῳ καὶ παραγυμνοῦσα τοὺς βραχίονας ὑπὲρ τὴν Λευκώλενον καὶ Καλλίσφυρον ἐφαίνετο τὰς Ὁμήρου.
