Translation: [Son] of Thersander or Neomousos or Philopolis; Milesian; lyric poet. [It was he] who added the 10th and 11th string [to the lyre] and changed old-fashioned music into something softer. He lived during the times of
Euripides the tragedian, which are also those of the reign of king Philip of Macedon,[1] and he lived for 97 years. He wrote, in verses, 19 musical
nomoi, 36 proems, Artemis, 8 (?)performances, encomia,
Persians or
Nauplion,
Daughters of Phineus,
Laertes, 18 dithyrambs, 21 hymns, and other works.
[Note] that[2] Alexander was as fond of listening to music as anyone. For, even earlier, Timotheos the piper, whom they say once piped the so-called
orthios nomos of Athena, so greatly amazed Alexander with his melodies that in the middle of listening he rose up to arms; and he said that that is what the royal pipe-tunes ought to be like. Naturally, this Timotheos, when sent for, went to him eagerly.

Notes:
c.450-360 BCE. See generally Bernhard Zimmermann in OCD(4) s.v.
Timotheus(1).
[1] This synchronicity does not work, and Adler's apparatus notes some suggested solutions: change 'Philip' to Archelaos, or move this clause to follow 'and he lived for 97 years'.
[2] cf.
alpha 1122,
omicron 573. (This, of course, is a different Timotheos.)
