Πρῶτοι δὲ Πέρσαι, ὥς φησιν Ἡρακλείδης, καὶ τοὺς λεγομένους στρώτας ἐφεῦρον, ἵνα κόσμον ἔχῃ ἡ στρῶσις καὶ εὐάφειαν. Ἔφορος δὲ καὶ Δείνων (fr. 20) καὶ Κλείταρχος καὶ Ἡρακλείδης, ἔτι δ ̓ ἄλλοι πλείονες Themistoclem non ad Artaxerxem, sed ad Xerxem venisse dicunt. Ἔνιοι μέντοι λέγουσιν, ὧν ἐστι καὶ Ἡρακλείδης ὁ Κυμαῖος, οὐ μίαν μόνον τῶν θυγατέρων (sc. τὴν Ἄτοσσαν), ἀλλὰ καὶ δευτέραν, Ἄμηστριν, γῆμαι τὸν Ἀρτοξέρξην, περὶ ἧς ὀλίγον ὕστερον ἀπαγγελοῦμεν.
