Translation: Son of Maion; a Mysian, a piper and a melic and elegiac poet, he became a pioneer of instrumental music [played] by pipes: a student and the beloved of
Marsyas, a Satyr by lineage,[1] [who was himself] a pupil, and son, of Hyagnis.[2] Olympus flourished before the Trojan War, and the mountain in
Mysia is named for him.[3]
Ὄλυμπος, Μαίονος, Μυσός, αὐλητὴς καὶ ποιητὴς μελῶν καὶ ἐλεγείων, ἡγεμών τε γενόμενος τῆς κρουματικῆς μουσικῆς τῆς διὰ τῶν αὐλῶν: μαθητὴς καὶ ἐρώμενος Μαρσύου, τὸ γένος ὄντος Σατύρου, ἀκουστοῦ δὲ καὶ παιδὸς Ὑάγνιδος. γέγονε δὲ πρὸ τῶν Τρωϊκῶν ὁ Ὄλυμπος, ἐξ οὗ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἐν Μυσίᾳ ὀνομάζεται.
