Ἐν Ἰκάρῳ τῆς Ἀρτέμιδος τὸ ἄγαλμα ξύλον ἦν οὐκ εἰργασμένον· καὶ τὸ τῆς Κιθαιρωνίας Ἥρας ἐν Θεσπίᾳ πρἐμνον ἐκκεκομμένον· καὶ τὸ τῆς Σαμίας Ἥρας, ὥς φησιν Ἀέθλιος, πρότερον μὲν ἦν σανὶς, ὕστερον δὲ ἐπὶ Προκλέους ἄρχοντος ἀνδριαντοειδὲς ἐγένετο. Ὅτι δὲ ἐν ταῖς Ἀθήναις διηνεκεῖς ἦσαν αἱ ὀπῶραι πᾶσαι μαρτυρεῖ Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Ὥραις. Τί οὖν παράδοξον ἱστορεῖν δοκεῖ Ἀέθλιος ὁ Σάμιος ἐν πέμπτῳ Σαμίων Ὥρων λέγων «Σῦκον καὶ σταφυλὴ καὶ ὁμομηλὶς καὶ μῆλα καὶ ῥόδα δὶς τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ ἐγένετο.»
