Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

τὰ μὲν δὴ ἀπαντικρὺ Πελοποννήσου καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ Βοιωτίας καθήκουσιν ἐπὶ θάλασσαν οἱ Φωκεῖς, τῇ μὲν ἐς Κίρραν τὸ ἐπίνειον Δελφῶν, τῇ δʼ ἐπὶ Ἀντίκυραν πόλιν· τὰ δὲ πρὸς τοῦ Λαμιακοῦ κόλπου Λοκροὶ σφᾶς παραθαλασσίους οἱ Ὑποκνημίδιοι κωλύουσιν εἶναι· οὗτοι γὰρ δή εἰσιν οἱ ταύτῃ τὴν Φωκίδα ὑπεροικοῦντες, Σκαρφεῖς μὲν τὰ ἐπέκεινα Ἐλατείας, ὑπὲρ δὲ Ὑάμπολιν καὶ Ἄβας οἱ πόλιν τε Ὀποῦντα καὶ Ὀπουντίων ἐπίνειον νεμόμενοι Κῦνον.

English Translation

The Phocians extend to the sea opposite the Peloponnese and along the Boeotian coast; on one side through Cirrha, the port-town of Delphi, and on the other by way of the city of Anticyra. But towards the Malian Gulf the Hypocnemidian Locrians prevent their being a maritime people; indeed, these Locrians occupy the territory lying above Phocis in that direction—Scarphea beyond Elateia, as well as Hyampolis and Abai—and they possess the city of Opus and its harbor Cynus.
