The comics introduce a certain god [from Korykos] as listening, from a proverb. For Korykos [is] a cape in Pamphylia, next to which [is] the city of Attaleia. The townspeople there wanted to suffer no ill-treatment from the robbers moored by the cape; so they would change places and listen for those who were moored in other harbours, and would announce to the robbers who they were and where they were sailing to. Hence the proverb "so the man from Korykos was listening to him". But the comics introduce the god as a Korykaian. Menander in Dagger [sc. does so].[1] Dioxippus in Treasure [writes]: "I hope the man from Korykos does not hear a body." "But didn't I hear him following you inside?"[2] And Ephorus in [Book] III:[3] "By a cape stretching out into the sea", he says, "the so-called men of Korykos used to live. Some of them mingled together made a township, neighbouring Myonnesos. So they approached the merchants moored there, as if to buy things or as fellow sailors. Then, after finding out what their cargo is and where they were sailing to, they would announce it to the Myonnesians. And [the Myonnesians] would attack [the merchants], with [the men of Korykos] also getting a share in the ransom money."[4]
