Translation: Arnaean,[1] or Lesbian from
Antissa,[2] or Cumaean.[3] Some have recorded him as a descendant of Hesiod, others of
Homer -- saying that he was the son of Boios, [who was] the son of Phokeus, [who was] the son of Euryphon, [who was] the son of
Homer. Lyric poet, who first made the lyre of seven strings and first wrote lyric nomes -- though some wish [to believe] that Philammon wrote them.[4]

Notes:
Terpander, a C7 BC lyric poet of Lesbian origin but active at
Sparta, is credited with inventing the 7-stringed lyre and creating the canon of the 7 citharodic nomes. Some fragments of poetry are attributed to him, but their genuineness is doubtful.
