"Ada banyak kisah luar biasa yang diceritakan tentang Pherecydes. Karena dikatakan bahwa dia sedang berjalan di sepanjang pantai di Samos, dan bahwa melihat sebuah kapal berlayar dengan angin yang adil, dia mengatakan bahwa kapal itu akan segera tenggelam; dan saat itu tenggelam di depan matanya. Di lain waktu dia minum air yang diambil dari sumur, dan dia menubuatkan bahwa dalam tiga hari akan ada gempa bumi; dan ada satu."

--- Diogenes Laertius

Versi Bahasa Inggris

There are many marvellous stories told of Pherecydes. For it is said that he was walking along the seashore at Samos, and that seeing a ship sailing by with a fair wind, he said that it would soon sink; and presently it sank before his eyes. At another time he was drinking some water which had been drawn up out of a well, and he foretold that within three days there would be an earthquake; and there was one.
