Translation:
Hermes, in the role of someone teaching [about] the roads and bearing an inscription [indicating] where this road leads, and where that. But perhaps having a head [pointing] towards each road. The person who set up the Three-Headed Hermes, as Philochorus says, [was] Prokleides, a lover of Hipparchos.[1]
Isaeus in the [speech] On Eukleides [writes]: "a short way up from the three-headed, by the Hestia road".[2] In full this is "the Three-Headed Hermes".

Harpokration tau28 Keaney (Philochorus FGrH 328 F22a), recast and expanded.
[1] = Photius, Lexicon tau457 Theodoridis. 'Philochorus' = FGrH 328 F22b. This Hipparchus (C6 BCE) was one of the sons of the tyrant Peisistratos (see under iota 523); he is connected elsewhere with the erection of herms (bearing gnomic wisdom) in Attica. The name of his lover is uncertain: Eukleides, Patrokleides, Prokleides.
