[10] Ἀργανθώνιος μὲν οὖν Ταρτησσίων βασιλεὺς πεντήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ἔτη βιῶναι λέγεται, ὡς Ἡρόδοτος ὁ λογοποιὸς καὶ ὁ μελοποιὸς Ἀνακρέων· ἀλλὰ τοῦτο μὲν μῦθός τισι δοκεῖ. Ἀγαθοκλῆς δὲ ὁ Σικελίας τύραννος ἐτῶν ἐνενήκοντα ἐτελεύτα,¹ καθάπερ Δημοχάρης καὶ Τίμαιος ἱστοροῦσιν. Ἱέρων τε ὁ Συρακουσίων τύραννος δύο καὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν γενόμενος ἐτελεύτα νόσῳ, βασιλεύσας ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτη, ὥσπερ Δημήτριός τε ὁ Καλλατιανὸς καὶ ἄλλοι λέγουσιν. Ἀτέας δὲ Σκυθῶν βασιλεὺς μαχόμενος πρὸς Φίλιππον περὶ τὸν Ἴστρον ποταμὸν ἔπεσεν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἔτη γεγονώς. Βάρδυλις δὲ ὁ Ἰλλυριῶν βασιλεὺς ἀφʼ ἵππου λέγεται μάχεσθαι ἐν τῷ πρὸς Φίλιππον πολέμῳ εἰς ἐνενήκοντα τελῶν ἔτη. Τήρης δὲ Ὀδρυσῶν βασιλεύς, καθά φησι Θεόπομπος, δύο καὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν ἐτελεύτησεν.

[10] Arganthonius, king of the Tartessians, lived a hundred and fifty years according to Herodotus the historian and Anacreon the song-writer, ¹ but some consider this a fable. Agathocles, tyrant of Sicily, died at ninety, as Demochares and Timaeus ² tell us. Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse, died of an illness at the age of ninety-two, after having been ruler for seventy years, as Demetrius of Callatia and others say. Ateas, king of the Scythians, fell in battle against Philip near the river Danube at an age of more than ninety years. Bardylis, king of the Illyrians, is said to have fought on horseback in the war against Philip in his ninetieth year. Teres, king of the Odrysians, from what Theopompus says, died at ninety-two.
