Passage 4.24.1: Aristomenes marries off his relatives and consults the Delphic oracle

Historical Skeptical

Greek Text

Ἀριστομένης δὲ ὡς τὴν ἡγεμονίαν ἀπείπατο τῶν ἐς τὴν ἀποικίαν στελλομένων, τὰς θυγατέρας τὴν πρεσβυτάτην καὶ τὴν ἐπὶ ταύτῃ καὶ Ἁγναγόραν τὴν ἀδελφὴν τὴν μὲν Θάρυκι ἐς Φιγαλίαν, Δαμοθοΐδᾳ δὲ Λεπρεάτῃ καὶ Ἡραιεῖ Θεοπόμπῳ τὰς θυγατέρας συνῴκισεν· αὐτὸς δὲ ἀφικόμενος ἐς Δελφοὺς ἐχρῆτο τῷ θεῷ. καὶ τὸ μὲν τῷ Ἀριστομένει γενόμενον μάντευμα οὐ λέγεται·

English Translation

When Aristomenes declined the leadership of those preparing to settle the colony, he married off his daughters—the eldest and the one following her—as well as his sister Hagnagora: the sister to Tharyx in Phigalia, and his daughters to Damothoidas of Lepreum and Theopompus of Heraea. Aristomenes himself went to Delphi and consulted the god; however, the oracle given to Aristomenes is not recorded.
