Nam praeter
ista, quae Hecaton transcribit, tres Chrysippus
Gratias ait Iovis et Eurynomes filias esse, aetate
autem minores quam Horas, sed meliuscula facie et
ideo Veneri datas comites. Matris quoque nomen
ad rem iudicat pertinere : Eurynomen enim dictam,
quia late patentis patrimonii sit beneficia dividere ;
tamquam matri post filias soleat nomen imponi
aut poetae vera nomina reddant !
