Suidas: Ῥοδώπιδος ἀνάθημ α . Ὀβελίσκοι ἐν Δελφοῖς πολλοί. Ἀπελλᾶς δὲ ὁ Ποντικὸς οἴεται καὶ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ πυραμίδα, Ἡροδότου (II, 134) ἐλέγχοντος τὴν δόξαν. Ἦν δὲ Θρᾷσσα τὸ γένος· ἐδούλευσε δὲ σὺν Αἰσώπῳ Ἰάδμονι Μυτιληναίῳ, ἐλυτρώσατο δὲ αὐτὴν Χάραξος, ὁ Σαπφοῦς ἀδελφός· ἡ δὲ Σαπφὼ Δωρίχαν αὐτὴν καλεῖ.
