Menekles or Kallistrates[1] in the [treatise] About Athenians writes thus: "for after the Painted [Stoa] and the Royal Stoa are the so-called Herms".[2] Some used to be called Hipparcheian Herms, after Hipparchos the son of Peisistratos.

Hermai: Meneklês ê Kallistratês en tôi peri Athênaiôn graphei tauti: apo gar tês Poikilês kai tês tou basileôs stoas eisin hoi Hermai kaloumenoi. ekalounto de tines kai Hipparcheioi Hermai apo Hipparchou tou Peisistratou.
Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., commenting in the first instance on Aeschines 3.187.
[1] Harpok. gives this second name as Kallikrates; cf. kappa 1354.
[2] Menekles of Barka [C2 BCE] FGrH 270 F2. The more correct title of the work, in Harpok., is About Athens. For herms cf. epsilon 3051; for Menekles cf. delta 589, kappa 1354.
