Ἰστέον ὅτι ἀρχαιοτάτους ἀνθρώπων οἱ μὲν Αἰγυπτίους, οἱ δὲ Φρύγας φασίν, Ἑλλήνων δὲ ἀρχαιοτάτους Ἀθηναίους καὶ τοὺς πρὶν Πελασγούς, νῦν δὲ Ἀρκάδας, ἐν δὲ πόλεσι τήν τε Ἀθηναίων ἀκρόπολιν ὑπὸ Κέκροπος τοῦ αὐτόχθονος κτισθεῖσαν τοῦ διφυοῦς καὶ δευτέραν τὴν ὑπὸ Φορωνέως τοῦ Ἰνάχου [κτισθεῖσαν], τρίτην δὲ ‹τὴν› Ἴτωνος ἐν Θεσσαλίᾳ ὑπὸ Δευκαλίωνος τοῦ Προμηθέως.
