Now Athenaeus says Plato was born in the archonship of Apollodorus. The test of diogenes Laortius read that he was born [foreign text]. This is usually translated "in the Archonship of Ameinias" which began 423 BC. But since [foreign text] in stating Archonships always takes the genitive at any rate in [writers] of the age of Laertius this must be wrong and may easily stand for a parenthetical [foreign text] which would best agree with the second year though it is not contrary to the first if we suppose that Archon took office a month before the time of that Plato was born later in the year Pericles died. Now Pericles did die under the archonship of Epameinon in the autumn of 429 BC. This this statement would suit either of the first two years.
