Berossus, Babyloniaca F3:
And after him (= Amegalaros) Daonos, a shepherd from (the city) Pautibiblon, reigned for ten saroi. And again at this time, he says, four (beasts) with the same shape and mixture of fish and man as those before appeared from the Erythrean Sea. Their names were the following: Euedokos, Eneugamos, Eneuboulos, Anementos.
