[1] The road from Thebes to Chalcis is by this Proetidian gate. On the highway is pointed out the tomb of Melanippos, one of the very best of the soldiers of Thebes. When the Argive invasion occurred this Melanippos killed Tydeus, as well as Mecisteus, one of the brothers of Adrastos, while he himself, they say, met his death at the hands of Amphiaraos.

ἐκ Θηβῶν δὲ ὁδὸς ἐς Χαλκίδα κατὰ πύλας ταύτας ἐστὶ τὰς Προιτίδας. τάφος δὲ ἐπὶ τῇ λεωφόρῳ δείκνυται Μελανίππου, Θηβαίων ἐν τοῖς μάλιστα ἀγαθοῦ τὰ πολεμικά· καὶ ἡνίκα ἐπεστράτευσαν οἱ Ἀργεῖοι, Τυδέα ὁ Μελάνιππος οὗτος καὶ ἀδελφῶν τῶν Ἀδράστου Μηκιστέα ἀπέκτεινε, καί οἱ καὶ αὐτῷ τὴν τελευτὴν ὑπὸ Ἀμφιαράου γενέσθαι λέγουσι.
