 The extant texts of the Aristotelian "Constitution of the Athenians" mention Damonides as an advisor to Pericles.The mention there of "Damonides" is now almost universally considered an editorial slip of pen, where the original text read "Damon, son of Damonides" instead.This seems to be confirmed by "ostraka" that have been recovered and that bear the name "Damon son of Damonides".
