Philodemus De Pietate, B 6915-26 [Obbink]

     ... Poseidon is said to grant unto certain humans such capacity that he gave to Periclymenus and to Mestra. Sources, such as Hesiod, state that of these two Mestra was resold persistently for the sake of persistently refeeding Aethon.

      Μήστρα
     καὶ παντελῶς καὶ Ποσειδῶν λέγεται καὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τισὶν περιθεῖναι τὴν τοιαύτην δύναμιν ὥσπερ Περικλυμένωι καὶ Μήστραι. τούτων δὲ τὴν μὲν ἱστορήκασιν, ὡς Ἡσίοδος, διαπρασθῆναι χάριν τοῦ διατρέφεσθ᾿Αἴθωνα.
