Ἐπικράτης δ ̓ ὁ Ἀθηναῖος, πρὸς βασιλέα (sc. Ἀλέξανδρον, Epiri regem) πρεσβεύσας, ὥς φησιν Ἡγήσανδρος, καὶ πολλὰ δῶρα παρ ̓ ἐκείνου λαβὼν, οὐκ ᾐσχύνετο κολακεύων οὕτως φανερῶς καὶ τολμηρῶς τὸν βασιλέα, ὡς καὶ εἰπεῖν, δεῖν κατ ̓ ἐνιαυτὸν οὐκ ἐννέα ἄρχοντας, ἀλλ ̓ ἐννέα πρέσβεις αἱρεῖσθαι πρὸς βασιλέα.
