² Οὕτω δὲ ἦσαν περισπούδασται πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις αἱ ἰσχάδες (ὄντως γάρ, κατὰ τὸν Ἀριστοφάνην, ‘Οὐδὲν γὰρ ὄντως γλυκύτερον τῶν ἰσχάδων’), ὡς καὶ Ἀμιτροχάτην, τὸν τῶν Ἰνδῶν βασιλέα, γράψαι Ἀντιόχῳ, ἀξιοῦντα (φησὶν Ἡγήσανδρος) πέμψαι αὐτῷ γλυκὺν καὶ ἰσχάδας καὶ σοφιστὴν ἀγοράσαντα. Καὶ τὸν Ἀντίοχον ἀντιγράψαι—‘Ἰσχάδας μὲν καὶ γλυκὺν ἀποστελοῦμέν σοι, σοφιστὴν δ’ ἐν Ἕλλησιν οὐ νόμιμον πωλεῖσθαι’ (Müller, loc. cit.).
