Ὑρκανοῖς καὶ Μάγνησιν οἱ κύνες συνεστρατεύοντο, καὶ ἦν καὶ τοῦτο συμμαχικὸν ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐπικουρικόν. συστρατιώτην δέ τις Ἀθηναῖος ἐν τῇ μάχῃ τῇ ἐν Μαραθῶνι ἐπήγετο κύνα, καὶ γραφῇ εἴκασται ἐν τῇ Ποικίλῃ ἑκάτερος, μὴ ἀτιμασθέντος τοῦ κυνός, ἀλλὰ ὑπὲρ τοῦ κινδύνου μισθὸν εἰληφότος ὁρᾶσθαι σὺν τοῖς ἀμφὶ τὸν Κυνέγειρον καὶ Ἐπίζηλόν τε καὶ Καλλίμαχον. ἔστι δὲ καὶ οὗτοι καὶ ὁ κύων Μίκωνος γράμμα. οἳ δὲ οὐ τούτου, ἀλλὰ τοῦ Θασίου Πολυγνώτου φασίν.
