Passage 1.3.1
τὸ δὲ χωρίον ὁ Κεραμεικὸς τὸ μὲν ὄνομα ἔχει ἀπὸ ἥρωος Κεράμου, Διονύσου τε εἶναι καὶ Ἀριάδνης καὶ τούτου λεγομένου· πρώτη δέ ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ καλουμένη στοὰ βασίλειος, ἔνθα καθίζει βασιλεὺς ἐνιαυσίαν ἄρχων ἀρχὴν καλουμένην βασιλείαν. ταύτης ἔπεστι τῷ κεράμῳ τῆς στοᾶς ἀγάλματα ὀπτῆς γῆς, ἀφιεὶς Θησεὺς ἐς θάλασσαν Σκίρωνα καὶ φέρουσα Ἡμέρα Κέφαλον, ὃν κάλλιστον γενόμενόν φασιν ὑπὸ Ἡμέρας ἐρασθείσης ἁρπασθῆναι· καί οἱ παῖδα γενέσθαι Φαέθοντα, ὃν ὕστερον ἡ Ἀφροδίτη ἥρπασε καὶ φύλακα ἐποίησε τοῦ ναοῦ. ταῦτα ἄλλοι τε καὶ Ἡσίοδος εἴρηκεν ἐν ἔπεσι τοῖς ἐς τὰς γυναῖκας.
The place called Cerameicus obtains its name from the hero Ceramus, who is said to be the son of Dionysus and Ariadne. Upon entering, the first structure on the right is a stoa known as the Royal Portico, in which sits the king who holds the yearly office termed the monarchy. On the terracotta roof of this portico are statues made of baked clay, depicting Theseus casting Sciron into the sea, and Day carrying off Cephalus, who was said to be exceptionally handsome, and whom Day, becoming enamored of him, carried away. They say he was the father of Phaethon, who afterwards Aphrodite herself seized and appointed guardian of her temple. This account is also narrated by Hesiod and by others in the poems dedicated to women.
