Ὅτι Σαδυάττης ὁ Λυδῶν βασιλεὺς, Ἀλυάττεω παῖς (Ι), ἦν μὲν τὰ πολέμια γενναῖος, ἄλλως δὲ ἀκόλαστος, Καὶ γάρ ποτε τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἀδελφὴν, γυναῖκα Μιλήτου, ἀνδρὸς δοκίμου, καλέσας ἐφ ̓ ἱερὰ, βίᾳ ᾔσχυνε, καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν αὐτὴν ἴσχει γυναῖκα. Ὁ δὲ Μίλητος ἦν Μέλανος τοῦ Γύγου γαμβροῦ ἀπόγονος. Δυσανασχετῶν δ ̓ ἐπὶ τούτοις, φεύγων ᾤχετο εἰς Δασκύλιον. Σαδυάττης δὲ κἀκεῖθεν αὐτὸν ἐξέωσεν. Ὁ δὲ ἀπεχώρησεν εἰς Προκόννησον (2). Σαδυάττης δὲ ὀλίγον ὕστερον ἔγημεν ἑτέρας δύο γυναῖκας ἀλλήλαις ἀδελφὰς, καὶ ἴσχει παῖδας, ἐκ μὲν τῆς Ἀττάλην, ἐκ δὲ τῆς Ἄδραμυν νόθους (3), ἐκ δὲ τῆς αὐτοῦ ἀδελφῆς γνήσιον Ἀλυάττην.
