[11] The epic poem called the Naupactia by the Greeks is by most people assigned to a poet of Miletus, while Kharon, the son of Pythes, says that it is a composition of Karkinos of Naupaktos. I am one of those who agree with the Lampsacenian writer. For what reason could there be in giving the name of Naupactia to a poem about women composed by an author of Miletus?
