Ab Apollonio inter Argonautas recensetur Neptuni filius ὁ πτολίεθρον ἀγαυοῦ Μιλήτοιο νοσφισθεὶς Ἐργῖνος. Ad haec schol.: Ὁ δὲ Μίλητος, ἀφ ̓ οὗ καὶ ἡ πόλις Μίλητος, Εὐξανθίου τοῦ Μίνωος ἦν· οἱ δέ φασιν αὐτὸν Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ Ἀρείας τῆς Κλεόχου· ἐκλήθη δὲ Μίλητος, ὅτι ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ τῆς μητρὸς ἐν μίλακι. Καὶ Ἀριστόκριτος φησὶν ὅτι Ἀρεία θυγάτηρ ἐγένετο Κλεόχου, ὗς καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος γενέσθαι βρέφος, καὶ τοῦτο ἐκτεθῆναι εἰς μίλακα. Τὸν δὲ Κλέοχον ἀνελέσθαι, καὶ ὀνομάσαι ἀπὸ τῆς μίλακος Μίλητον. Τοῦτον δὲ ἀνδρωθέντα, καὶ φθονούμενον ὑπὸ τοῦ Μίνωος, ἀναχωρῆσαι εἰς τὴν Σάμον· ἀφ ̓ οὗ καὶ τόπος ἐστὶ [ἐκεῖ] Μίλητος· καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Σάμου μεταβὰς εἰς τὴν Καρίαν, ἔκτισε πόλιν, Μίλητον ἀφ ̓ ἑαυτοῦ καλέσας. Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ καὶ Ἡρόδωρος (vulg. Ἡρόδοτος).
