Ὀρθῶς ἐποιήσατε τὴν πόλιν μεταχρηματίσαντες καὶ καλέσαντες ἀντὶ Μαρωνείας ἥτις νῦν καλεῖται Ἱππαρχίαν, ἐπεὶ κρεῖττον ὑμῖν ἀπὸ Ἱππαρχίας λέγεσθαι, γυναικὸς μέν, ἀλλὰ φιλοσόφου, ἢ Μάρωνος, ἀνδρὸς οἰνοπώλου.

You did well to change the city's name and call what was formerly Maroneia, as it is now called, Hipparchia. It is better for you to be named after Hipparchia, a woman but a philosopher, than after Maron, a man but a wine seller.

Codex gpt-5.6-sol · Non-official working translation · 2026-09-11
Vous avez bien fait de changer le nom de votre ville et d’appeler Hipparchia celle qu’on nommait auparavant Maronée. Il vaut mieux pour vous tirer votre nom d’Hipparchia, femme certes, mais philosophe, que de Maron, homme et marchand de vin.
