Headword: Hekataios
Adler number: epsilon,360
Translated headword: Hekataios, Hecataeus
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Son of Hegesandros; a Milesian. Born in the time of Dareios -- the king who ruled after Kambyses, when Dionysios of Miletos also lived -- in the sixty-fifth Olympiad.[1] Historian. Herodotos of Halikarnassos is indebted to him, being more recent; for he was born after him.[2] And Hekataios was a pupil of Protagoras.[3] He was the first to express history in prose, whereas Pherekydes [wrote the first prose] composition [sc. of any sort].[4] For the [works] of Agesilaos are spurious.[5]

Notes:
OCD(4) 649 'Hecataeus(1)'; FGrH 1 T1; Perseus Encyclopedia entry at web address 1, with links to Herodotus and Pausanias.
[1] 520-516 BCE. For this Dionysios see delta 1180.
[2] This explanatory phrase is lacking, Adler reports in mss VM.
[3] A chronological impossibility, since Protagoras lived c.490-420 (pi 2958). Perhaps Hekataios is being confused here with Hellanikos (as is the case in epsilon 738), or with Hekataios of Abdera (epsilon 359); alternatively, emend 'Protagoras' to Pythagoras (cf. Adler's apparatus); but see the comments of Jacoby FGrH ad loc.
[4] cf. phi 214.
[5] Taken to be a mistake, both here and elsewhere (iota 697, sigma 1284), for "Akousilaos" (FGrH 2; alpha 942).
