Passage 1.9.7
διέβη δὲ καὶ ναυσὶν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν καὶ τὴν ἀρχὴν τὴν Ἀντιγόνου συγκαθεῖλε. συνῴκισε δὲ καὶ Ἐφεσίων ἄχρι θαλάσσης τὴν νῦν πόλιν, ἐπαγαγόμενος ἐς αὐτὴν Λεβεδίους τε οἰκήτορας καὶ Κολοφωνίους, τὰς δὲ ἐκείνων ἀνελὼν πόλεις, ὡς Φοίνικα ἰάμβων ποιητὴν Κολοφωνίων θρηνῆσαι τὴν ἅλωσιν. Ἑρμησιάναξ δὲ ὁ τὰ ἐλεγεῖα γράψας οὐκέτι ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν περιῆν· πάντως γάρ που καὶ αὐτὸς ἂν ἐπὶ ἁλούσῃ Κολοφῶνι ὠδύρατο. Λυσίμαχος δὲ καὶ ἐς πόλεμον πρὸς Πύρρον κατέστη τὸν Αἰακίδου· φυλάξας δὲ ἐξ Ἠπείρου ἀπιόντα, οἷα δὴ τὰ πολλὰ ἐκεῖνος ἐπλανᾶτο, τήν τε ἄλλην ἐλεηλάτησεν Ἤπειρον καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς θήκας ἦλθε τῶν βασιλέων.
He crossed by ship into Asia and overthrew the dominion of Antigonus. He also gathered together the city of the Ephesians, extending it down to the sea, and brought inhabitants from Lebedus and Colophon, abandoning their original cities, so much so that Phoenix, a poet of iambic verse from Colophon, lamented its capture. Hermesianax, however, who composed elegiac poetry, was, I think, no longer alive; otherwise he, too, would certainly have mourned for Colophon's fall. Lysimachus also entered into war against Pyrrhus, the son of Aeacides; having awaited the latter's departure from Epirus—since Pyrrhus was usually engaged in wandering expeditions elsewhere—Lysimachus then ravaged the rest of Epirus and even approached the tombs of its kings.
