7 As Mr. Oswyn Murray points out to me, this is the most likely explanation of what Clement says in Strom, i. 69 = D.-K. 68 B 299. The reference to the ‘stele’ (instead of to a book) of ‘Akikaros’ suggests the typical claim to have derived special knowledge from a unique document. (Cf. Acusilaus 2 T 1; Euhemerus, Eus.
