And in his oration against Aristagoras, Hyperides says— And again you have named, in the same manner, the animals called aphyæ. Now, aphyæ, besides meaning anchovies, was also a nickname for some courtesans; concerning whom the before-mentioned Apollodorus says—Stagonium and Amphis were two sisters, and they were called Aphyæ, because they were white, and thin, and had large eyes. And Antiphanes, in his book on Courtesans, says that Nicostratis was called Aphya for the same reason. And the same Hyperides, in his speech against Mantitheus, who was being prosecuted for an assault, speaks in the following manner respecting Glycera—Bringing with him Glycera the daughter of Thalassis in a pair-horse chariot. But it is uncertain whether this is the same Glycera who was take mistress of Harpalus; concerning whom Theopompus speaks in his treatise on the Chian Epistle, saying that after the death of Pythionica, Harpalus sent for Glycera to come to him from Athens; and when she came, she lived in the palace which is at Tarsus, and was honoured with royal honours by the populace, and was called queen; and an edict was issued, forbidding any one to present Harpalus with a crown, without at the same time presenting Glycera with another. And at Rhossus, he went so far as to erect a brazen statue of her by the side of his own statue. And Clitarchus has given the same account in his History of Alexander. But the author of Agen, a satyric drama, (whoever he was, whether it was Python of Catana, or king Alexander himself,) says— And now they say that Harpalus has sent them Unnumber'd sacks of corn, no fewer than Those sent by Agen, and is made a citizen: But this was Glycera's corn, and it may be Ruin to them, and not a harlot's earnest.
