The city of Celeae lies roughly five stades from Phlius, and there they observe rites in honor of Demeter every fourth year rather than annually.	A geographic distance plus a cult-practice description; it reports local ritual observance, not a mythic event or post-500 BC historical event.
2.14.1	2	other	high	ἱεροφάντης δὲ οὐκ ἐς τὸν βίον πάντα ἀποδέδεικται, κατὰ δὲ ἑκάστην τελετὴν ἄλλοτέ ἐστιν ἄλλος σφίσιν αἱρετός, λαμβάνων ἢν ἐθέλῃ καὶ γυναῖκα.	The hierophant is not appointed for life, but chosen specially for each celebration, and he may even take a wife if he wishes.

2.14.1	3	other	high	καὶ ταῦτα μὲν διάφορα τῶν Ἐλευσῖνι νομίζουσι, τὰ δὲ ἐς αὐτὴν τὴν τελετὴν ἐκείνων ἐστὶν ἐς μίμησιν· ὁμολογοῦσι δὲ καὶ αὐτοὶ μιμεῖσθαι Φλιάσιοι τὰ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι δρώμενα.	In these respects they differ from the Eleusinians, but their rites themselves imitate those of Eleusis; indeed, the Phliasians openly acknowledge that they copy the mysteries performed at Eleusis.	Describes ritual comparison and imitation between cult practices, not a mythic event or a historical event.
2.14.2	1	mythic	high	Δυσαύλην δέ φασιν ἀδελφὸν Κελεοῦ παραγενόμενόν σφισιν ἐς τὴν χώραν καταστήσασθαι τὴν τελετήν, ἐκβληθῆναι δὲ αὐτὸν ἐξ Ἐλευσῖνος ὑπὸ Ἴωνος, ὅτε Ἴων Ἀθηναίοις ὁ Ξούθου πολέμαρχος τοῦ πρὸς Ἐλευσινίους ᾑρέθη πολέμου.	They say that Dysaules, the brother of Celeus, came into their land and established their rites; but that he was driven out of Eleusis by Ion, when Ion, the son of Xuthus, was selected by the Athenians as military leader in the war against the Eleusinians.	References Eleusinian mythical figures and the mythic conflict involving Ion and the Eleusinians.
2.14.2	2	mythic	high	τοῦτο μὲν δὴ Φλιασίοις οὐκ ἔστιν ὅπως ὁμολογήσω, κρατηθέντα μάχῃ τινὰ Ἐλευσινίων φυγάδα ἀπελαθέντα οἴχεσθαι, τοῦ πολέμου τε ἐπὶ συνθήκαις καταλυθέντος πρὶν ἢ διαπολεμηθῆναι καὶ ἐν Ἐλευσῖνι αὐτοῦ καταμείναντος Εὐμόλπου.	This version, however, I cannot accept from the people of Phlius,—that a fugitive from Eleusis, having been defeated in battle, fled into exile, given that the war ended by a treaty before being fought out to a decisive conclusion, and that Eumolpus himself remained at Eleusis.	The sentence concerns Eumolpus and the Eleusinian War, a mythic tradition and its narrative correction.

2.14.3	5	mythic	high	ἐν δὲ αὐτοῖς καταλέγων τοὺς διδαχθέντας ὑπὸ τῆς θεοῦ τὴν τελετὴν Δυσαύλην οὐδένα οἶδεν Ἐλευσίνιον.	And yet, enumerating those who were taught the mysteries by the goddess, he knows no Eleusinian called Dysaules.

2.14.3	6	other	high	ἔχει δὲ οὕτω τὰ ἔπη·	His verses run thus:	Introductory formula introducing quoted verses; no mythic or historical event.

2.14.4	1	mythic	high	οὗτος δʼ οὖν, ὡς οἱ Φλιάσιοί φασιν, ὁ Δυσαύλης κατεστήσατο ἐνταῦθα τὴν τελετὴν καὶ οὗτος ἦν ὁ τῷ χωρίῳ τὸ ὄνομα παραθέμενος Κελεάς·	This same Dysaules, say the people of Phlius, established here the mysteries, and it was he who gave the place the name Celeae.	Dysaules is a mythic figure, and the sentence explains the origin of the mysteries and place-name from myth.
2.14.4	2	mythic	high	Δυσαύλου τέ ἐστιν ἐνταῦθα, ὡς εἴρηταί μοι, μνῆμα.	As I have said, the tomb of Dysaules is also located here.	Dysaules is a mythic figure, and mention of his tomb concerns a mythic landscape feature.
2.14.4	3	mythic	high	πρότερον δὲ ἄρα ἐπεποίητο ὁ Ἀράντειος τάφος·	The tomb of Aras, however, had already existed before this.	A tomb identified with Aras belongs to a mythic figure and concerns a legendary burial-place.
2.14.4	4	mythic	medium	ὕστερον γὰρ κατὰ τὸν Φλιασίων λόγον καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ τῆς Ἄραντος βασιλείας ἀφίκετο ὁ Δυσαύλης.	According to the tradition of the Phliasians, Dysaules arrived later, not during the reign of Aras.

For according to the Phliasians, Aras was contemporary with Prometheus, the son of Iapetus, and by three generations of men older than Pelasgos the Arcadian and older than those said by the Athenians to have sprung from the earth itself.	This dates Aras in relation to Prometheus, Iapetus, and other primeval ancestral figures, which is mythic genealogy rather than historical time.
