Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

πλησίον δὲ τῆς στοᾶς Κόνων ἕστηκε καὶ Τιμόθεος υἱὸς Κόνωνος καὶ βασιλεὺς Κυπρίων Εὐαγόρας, ὃς καὶ τὰς τριήρεις τὰς Φοινίσσας ἔπραξε παρὰ βασιλέως Ἀρταξέρξου δοθῆναι Κόνωνι· ἔπραξε δὲ ὡς Ἀθηναῖος καὶ τὸ ἀνέκαθεν ἐκ Σαλαμῖνος, ἐπεὶ καὶ γενεαλογῶν ἐς προγόνους ἀνέβαινε Τεῦκρον καὶ Κινύρου θυγατέρα. ἐνταῦθα ἕστηκε Ζεὺς ὀνομαζόμενος Ἐλευθέριος καὶ βασιλεὺς Ἀδριανός, ἐς ἄλλους τε ὧν ἦρχεν εὐεργεσίας καὶ ἐς τὴν πόλιν μάλιστα ἀποδειξάμενος τὴν Ἀθηναίων.

English Translation

Near the portico stand statues of Conon, his son Timotheus, and Evagoras, the king of Cyprus. Evagoras was responsible for urging King Artaxerxes to grant Phoenician triremes to Conon; he acted thus as an Athenian, descended from the ancient line of Salamis, tracing his ancestry back on one side to Teucer and on the other to a daughter of Cinyras. Here also stand statues of Zeus surnamed Eleutherios ("the Liberator") and Emperor Hadrian, who bestowed exceptional kindness upon the peoples he governed and, above all, upon the city of Athens itself.
