Translation: They record this about Hylas the son of Theiodamas, a fair lad in the bloom of youth, and the beloved of Herakles, when he was sailing in the company of the Argonauts: when they arrived in
Mysia, he was hidden from sight by the nymphs after he had gone out for the purpose of drawing water. When Polyphemus was sent in search of him he shouted and called for Hylas by name, but he made no progress. Wherefore they say the proverb about those accomplishing nothing. And even now the Kianians[1] still mimic the search in their festival for the hero.
