Passage 9.30.2
ποιητὰς δὲ ἤ καὶ ἄλλως ἐπιφανεῖς ἐπὶ μουσικῇ, τοσῶνδε εἰκόνας ἀνέθεσαν· Θάμυριν μὲν αὐτόν τε ἤδη τυφλὸν καὶ λύρας κατεαγυίας ἐφαπτόμενον, Ἀρίων δὲ ὁ Μηθυμναῖός ἐστιν ἐπὶ δελφῖνος. ὁ δὲ Σακάδα τοῦ Ἀργείου τὸν ἀνδριάντα πλάσας, οὐ συνεὶς Πινδάρου τὸ ἐς αὐτὸν προοίμιον, ἐποίησεν οὐδὲν ἐς τὸ μῆκος τοῦ σώματος εἶναι τῶν αὐλῶν μείζονα τὸν αὐλητήν.
Statues were dedicated of poets and others distinguished in music, as follows: Thamyris already blind, holding broken lyres; Arion of Methymna is mounted on a dolphin. But the sculptor who made the statue of Sacadas the Argive misunderstood the introduction by Pindar devoted to him, and thus depicted the flute-player as in no way taller in stature than his pipes.
