The wedded wife of Attalos, the father of King Eumenes.[1] She was a commoner who became queen, and maintained that high status until her final day, behaving not with a courtesan's seductiveness but with a prudent and civilized dignity and nobility. For she gave birth to four sons and maintained toward all of them unsurpassed goodwill and affection up to the end, even though she survived her husband for a considerable amount of time. Moreover, those in the court of Attalos in his absence protected her good reputation, granting to the mother [of his sons] the appropriate gratitude and honor. For taking their mother by both hands and leading her around in between them they visited both the shrines and the city along with their retinue. At this, the spectators accepted the young men and deemed them worthy, and, recalling the case of Kleobis and Biton,[2] they compared their choices, and complemented the splendor of their spiritedness with the distinction of the eminence of kings. These things were done in Kyzikos after the dissolution of the [peace] with king Prousias.

An abridgement and paraphrase of the Polybian excerpt 22.20 (= EV 2, 186, 6-25). There the woman's name is given as Apollonis, but I detect nothing else that might spring from an alternative tradition. (Apollonis is the correct form: see Walbank 211.)
[1] i.e. Eumenes II of Pergamon, son of Attalos I and brother of Attalos II.
[2] Two brothers from Argos [Myth, Place], famous for devotion to their mother; their story is briefly told in kappa 2499.
