ἐναντία δὲ καὶ ἐς τοῦ Ἡσιόδου τὴν τελευτήν ἐστιν εἰρημένα. ὅτι μὲν γὰρ οἱ παῖδες τοῦ Γανύκτορος Κτίμενος καὶ Ἄντιφος ἔφυγον ἐς Μολυκρίαν ἐκ Ναυπάκτου διὰ τοῦ Ἡσιόδου τὸν φόνον καὶ αὐτόθι ἀσεβήσασιν ἐς Ποσειδῶνα ἐγένετο <ἐν> <ἐν> Clavier τῆι Μολυκρίαι τῆι Μολυκρίαι Porson: τῆι μολυκρίδι M σφίσιν ἡ δίκη, τάδε μὲν καὶ οἱ πάντες κατὰ ταὐτὰ εἰρήκασι· τὴν δὲ ἀδελφὴν τῶν νεανίσκων οἱ μὲν ἄλλου τού φασιν αἰσχύναντος Ἡσίοδον λαβεῖν οὐκ ἀληθῆ τὴν τοῦ ἀδικήματος δόξαν, οἱ δὲ ἐκείνου γενέσθαι τὸ ἔργον.

Conflicting things are said about the death of Hesiod. That the children of Ganyctor, Ctimenus and Antiphus, fled to Molucria from Naupactus on account of the murder of Hesiod and there in Molucria they paid the penalty, having committed sacrilege against Poseidon, these things everyone has told in the same way. But as for the sister of the young men, some say that Hesiod was falsely blamed for the crime when another man had been the seducer, whereas others say the deed was his.
