| 7.1.7 | 4 | historical | other | τῶν δὲ Ἰώνων τοὺς βασιλέας ὑπῄει δέος, μὴ Ἀχαιῶν ἀναμιχθέντων αὐτοῖς Τισαμενὸν ἐν κοινῷ βασιλέα ἕλωνται κατά τε ἀνδραγαθίαν καὶ γένους δόξαν. | But fear seized the kings of the Ionians, lest, if the Achaeans were admitted among them, the Ionians might choose Tisamenus as their common king because of his bravery and illustrious ancestry. | This is a political/strategic statement about the Ionian kings and Tisamenus, but it is only a hypothetical fear and not a narrated historical event; it also does not assert mythic action. |
| 7.1.8 | 1 | mythic | both | Ἰώνων δὲ οὐ προσεμένων τοὺς Ἀχαιῶν λόγους ἀλλὰ ἐπεξελθόντων σὺν ὅπλοις, Τισαμενὸς μὲν ἔπεσεν ἐν τῇ μάχῃ, Ἴωνας δὲ Ἀχαιοὶ κρατήσαντες ἐπολιόρκουν καταπεφευγότας ἐς Ἑλίκην καὶ ὕστερον ἀφιᾶσιν ἀπελθεῖν ὑποσπόνδους. | When the Ionians disregarded the overtures made by the Achaeans and marched out against them in battle, Tisamenus fell fighting, but the Achaeans overcame the Ionians and besieged them after they had fled into Helice, later allowing them to depart under terms of truce. | The sentence narrates a battle, siege, and truce involving the Achaeans and Ionians, which is historical in character, and it also names Tisamenus as falling in combat, a mythic/heroic figure in Pausanias' genealogical-historical narrative. |

| 7.2.6 | 3 | mythic | other | τὸ δὲ ἱερὸν τὸ ἐν Διδύμοις τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ τὸ μαντεῖόν ἐστιν ἀρχαιότερον ἢ κατὰ τὴν Ἰώνων ἐσοίκησιν, πολλῷ δὲ πρεσβύτερα ἔτι ἢ κατὰ Ἴωνας τὰ ἐς τὴν Ἄρτεμιν τὴν Ἐφεσίαν ἐστίν. | The sanctuary of Apollo at Didyma and its oracle existed before the settlement of the Ionians, and are still more ancient, by far, than even the rites practiced among the Ionians in honor of Artemis at Ephesus. | This is a chronological comparison about the antiquity of a sanctuary and oracle, not a mythic narrative or a post-500 BCE historical event. |
| 7.2.8 | 3 | historical | mythic | Ἄνδροκλος δὲ ὁ Κόδρου---οὗτος γὰρ δὴ ἀπεδέδεικτο Ἰώνων τῶν ἐς Ἔφεσον πλευσάντων βασιλεύς---Λέλεγας μὲν καὶ Λυδοὺς τὴν ἄνω πόλιν ἔχοντας ἐξέβαλεν ἐκ τῆς χώρας· | Androclus, son of Codrus—who indeed had been named king of the Ionians who sailed to Ephesus—expelled from the territory the Leleges and Lydians, who held the upper city. | The sentence asserts a mythic/legendary genealogy and kingship for Androclus, son of Codrus, and his role in expelling peoples; it does not present a post-500 BCE historical event. |

| 7.3.8 | 1 | historical | other | Κλαζομενίοις δὲ καὶ Φωκαεῦσι, πρὶν μὲν ἢ Ἴωνας ἐς τὴν Ἀσίαν ἐλθεῖν, οὐκ ᾠκοῦντο αἱ πόλεις· | But Clazomenae and Phocaea were not inhabited cities before the Ionians came into Asia. | A bare historical-geographical statement about settlement timing; it does not narrate a specific mythic or historical event. |

This event provided the Sicilians a cause for war against the Cretans, since Cocalus refused to surrender Daedalus despite Minos' demands. | The sentence narrates the mythic story of Daedalus, Minos, and Cocalus, and also states that this event gave the Sicilians a cause for war against the Cretans. |
| 7.4.7 | 1 | mythic | other | δῆλά τε ὡς ἀνὰ πᾶσαν μὲν τὴν Σικελίαν, ἐπὶ πλεῖστον δὲ καὶ Ἰταλίας ἀφίκετο τοῦ Δαιδάλου τὸ ὄνομα. | It is clear that the fame of Daedalus spread throughout all Sicily and extended even into a significant portion of Italy. | This is a statement about the spread of Daedalus's fame, not a narration of a mythic deed or a historical event. |

| 7.6.2 | 4 | historical | both | καί σφισιν ὑπὸ τῶν Ἀχαιῶν ἐδόθη κτίσασθαι πόλιν ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ, καὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἀπὸ τοῦ Πατρέως ἐτέθη τῇ πόλει. | The Achaeans granted them the right to found a city in their territory, and the city took its name, Patrae, from Patreus. | It reports a city foundation and naming by the Achaeans, a historical political act, and the naming/founding legend itself is mythic-etiological in form. |
