Φερεκύδης ἐν δευτέρῳ, Τυφῶνος καὶ Ἐχίδνης τῆς Φόρκυνος (cod. Paris. addit εἶναι) φησὶ τὸν ἀετὸν τὸν ἐπιπεμφθέντα Προμηθεῖ. Καὶ ὅτι δὲ (cod. Paris. quasi sequentia non sint e Pherecyde petita, habet φασὶ δὲ, ὅτι) ὁ ἀετὸς ἤσθειν τῆς ἡμέρας τοῦ ἥπατος, τὸ δὲ λειπόμενον ηὔξετο τῆς νυκτὸς, καὶ ἐγίνετο ἴσον. Ἄργον τὸν πανόπτην Ἀσκληπιάδης μὲν Ἀρέστορος λέγει υἱόν· Φερεκύδης δὲ, Ἰνάχου· Κέρκωψ δὲ, Ἄργου καὶ Ἰσμήνης τῆς Ἀσωποῦ θυγατρός· Ἀκουσίλαος δὲ γηγενῆ αὐτὸν λέγει.
