Ὅτι Σκάμανδρος ὁ βασιλεύσας (1) πρῶτος τῶν Τρώων, Σάμωνι χρησάμενος συνεργῷ, τοὺς ἐν τῇ Τρωάδι ἐνίκησεν· ἀποθανόντος δὲ Σάμωνος (2) κατὰ τὴν μάχην, τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ Δάδαν, μητέρα τῶν νεανίσκων, εἰς τὸ Πόλιον (3) ἐξέπεμψε διὰ κήρυκος, ὡς ἂν ἐκεῖ συνοικήσειεν ὅτῳ βούληται. Ὁ δὲ κήρυξ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν βιασάμενος αὐτὴν ᾔσχυνεν. Ἡ δὲ τὸ ξίφος ἔχουσα Τὸ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς, αὑτὴν διεχρήσατο. Αἰσθόμενοι δὲ οἱ Κρῆτες τὸν κήρυκα κατέλευσαν, ἔνθα ὁ χῶρος Ἀναιδείας (4) ὠνομάσθη.
