Greek Text

τῆς δὲ εἰκόνος πλησίον τῆς Ὀλυμπιοδώρου χαλκοῦν Ἀρτέμιδος ἄγαλμα ἔστηκεν ἐπίκλησιν Λευκοφρύνης, ἀνέθεσαν δὲ οἱ παῖδες οἱ Θεμιστοκλέους· Μάγνητες γάρ, ὧν ἦρχε Θεμιστοκλῆς λαβὼν παρὰ βασιλέως, Λευκοφρύνην Ἄρτεμιν ἄγουσιν ἐν τιμῇ. δεῖ δέ με ἀφικέσθαι τοῦ λόγου πρόσω, πάντα ὁμοίως ἐπεξιόντα τὰ Ἑλληνικά. Ἔνδοιος ἦν γένος μὲν Ἀθηναῖος, Δαιδάλου δὲ μαθητής, ὃς καὶ φεύγοντι Δαιδάλῳ διὰ τὸν Κάλω θάνατον ἐπηκολούθησεν ἐς Κρήτην· τούτου καθήμενόν ἐστιν Ἀθηνᾶς ἄγαλμα, ἐπίγραμμα ἔχον ὡς Καλλίας μὲν ἀναθείη, ποιήσειε δὲ Ἔνδοιος.

English Translation

Near the image of Olympiodorus there stands a bronze statue of Artemis, surnamed Leukophryene, which the sons of Themistocles dedicated. For the Magnesians, whom Themistocles governed after receiving them from the Persian king, hold Artemis Leukophryene in honor. But I must proceed further in my account, dealing similarly with all the Greek memorials. Endoios was an Athenian by birth and a pupil of Daidalos, who followed Daidalos when he fled to Crete on account of the death of Kalos. Here stands a seated statue of Athena by him, bearing an inscription stating that Kallias dedicated it and Endoios made it.
