Isocrates 19.30;
Hecataeus FGrH 1 F8;
Apollophanes fr.4 Kock and Kassel-Austin (but note that Harpokration, the Suda's source here, says "

o(/ti following =
alpha 1423. (It is omitted in mss. GIT.) This statement (and
alpha 1423) seems to be a conflation of information from the historian
Nicolaus of Damascus. It was Sadyattes (father of our Alyattes) who dishonored his own sister -- or more probably niece: see under
alpha 1423.
