[2] As one goes up from the Peiraieus there are ruins of the walls that Konon restored after the naval battle offshore from [the island of] Knidos. I say-this-because [ gar] those [walls] that had been built by Themistocles after the retreat of the Persians were destroyed during the rule [ arkhē] of the so-called Thirty. Along the road are some very well-known tombs [ taphoi]: that of Menander, son of Diopeithes, and a cenotaph [ mnēma kenon ‘empty tomb’] of Euripides. He [= Euripides] himself went to King Arkhelaos [of Macedonia] and lies buried in Macedonia; as for the way [ tropos] he died—many have narrated it—let it be as they say.
