Quotation
χειροτονία δὲ ἦν ὡς ἐν θεάτρῳ, καὶ προεκρίθη Ῥοδογούνη, θυγάτηρ μὲν Ζωπύρου, γυνὴ δὲ Μεγαβύζου, μέγα τι χρῆμα <κάλλους> καὶ περιβόητον· οἷον τῆς Ἰωνίας Καλλιρόη, τοιοῦτο τῆς Ἀσίας ἡ Ῥοδογούνη. λαβοῦσαι δὲ αὐτὴν αἱ γυναῖκες ἐκόσμουν, ἑκάστη τι παρ᾿ αὑτῆς συνεισφέρουσα εἰς κόσμον· ἡ δὲ βασιλὶς ἔδωκε περιβραχιόνια καὶ ὅρμον.
