Translation: Son of Aristander; of

Plato,

Aristotle. This man and Naucrates of Erythrae[3] and the orator
Isocrates of
Apollonia[4] and
Theopompus[5] delivered, in the 103rd Olympiad, a funeral speech for Mausolus at the instigation of his wife Artemisia.[6] And he won, after gaining much approval for his tragic oration; but others say that
Theopompus took first place.[7] He produced 50 plays. He died in
Athens at the age of 41; his father was still alive. He also wrote an
Art of Rhetoric in verse; and other works in prose.

[6] 368-365. This, however, is when the Mausoleum was begun, as part of the refoundation of Halicarnassus by Mausolus; the dynast himself (
mu 299) did not die until 353. Adler notes suggested emendations of the transmitted numeral which would produce Ol.106 (356-353) or Ol.107 (352-349).
[7] The reason for this discrepancy is perhaps that there had been two prizes, one for tragedy and one for oratory. So most recently M.A. Flower,
Theopompus of Chios (Oxford 1994) 57 n.47; and see generally S. Hornblower,
Mausolus (Oxford 1982) 333-6.
