Suidas: Φερεκύδης Ἀθηναῖος, πρεσβύτερος τοῦ Συρίου, ὃν λόγος τὰ Ὀρφέως συναγαγεῖν. ἔγραψεν Αὐτόχθονας, ἔστι δὲ περὶ τῆς Ἀττικῆς ἀρχαιολογίας, ἐν βιβλίοις δέκα· παραινέσεις διʼ ἐπῶν. Πορφύ- ριος δὲ τοῦ προτέρου οὐδένα πρεσβύτερον δέχε- ται, ἀλλʼ ἐκεῖνον μόνον ἡγεῖται ἀρχηγὸν συγγρα- φῆς. Locus num huc referendus sit, non negο posse dubitari. Vitam Pythagorae, quam primo φιλοσόφου ἱστο- ρίας libro inclusam fuisse docet Cyrilllus c. lulian. l p. 19 C et lX p. 300 B, infra exhibebimnus p. 14 sqq.
