Τῇ Νυκτέως Ζεὺς μίγνυται. Ἐξ ἧς Ζῆθος γίγνεται καὶ Ἀμφίων. Οὗτοι τὰς Θήβας οἰκοῦσι πρῶτοι, καὶ καλοῦνται Διὸς κοῦροι Λευκόπολοι. (Bene Butmannus λευκόπωλοι.) Γαμεῖ δὲ Ζῆθος μὲν Ἀηδόνα τὴν τοῦ Πανδαρέου. Τῶν δὲ γίνεται Ἴτυλος καὶ Νηίς. Ἴτυλον δὲ ἡ μήτηρ Ἀηδὼν ἀποκτείνει διὰ νυκτὸς, δοκοῦσα εἶναι τὸν Ἀμφίονος παῖδα, δηλοῦσα τὴν τοῦ προειρημένου γυναῖκα, ὅτ ̓ αὐτῇ (Buttm. bene conjicit ὅτι ταύτῃ) μὲν ἦσαν ἓξ παῖδες, αὐτῇ δὲ δύο. Ἐφορμᾷ δὲ ταύτῃ ὁ Ζεὺς ποινήν. Ἡ δὲ εὔχεται ὄρνις γενέσθαι, καὶ ποιεῖ αὐτὴν ὁ Ζεὺς ἀηδόνα. Θρήνει δὲ ἀεί ποτε τὸν Ἴτυλον, ὥς φησι Φερεκύδης.
