Greek Text

δεκάτῳ δὲ ὕστερον ἔτει μετὰ τὴν τοῦ ἱεροῦ κατάληψιν ἐπέθηκεν ὁ Φίλιππος πέρας τῷ πολέμῳ, Φωκικῷ τε καὶ ἱερῷ κληθέντι τῷ αὐτῷ, Θεοφίλου μὲν Ἀθήνῃσιν ἄρχοντος, ὀγδόης δὲ Ὀλυμπιάδος καὶ ἑκατοστῆς ἔτει πρώτῳ, ἣν Πολυκλῆς ἐνίκα στάδιον Κυρηναῖος. καὶ ἐς ἔδαφος ἁλοῦσαι κατεβλήθησαν τῶν Φωκέων αἱ πόλεις· ἀριθμὸς δὲ ἦν αὐτῶν Λίλαια καὶ Ὑάμπολις καὶ Ἀντίκυρα καὶ Παραποτάμιοι καὶ Πανοπεύς τε καὶ Δαυλίς. τούτων μὲν δὴ ὄνομα ἦν ἐκ παλαιοῦ, καὶ οὐχ ἥκιστα ἐπῶν ἕνεκα τῶν Ὁμήρου·

English Translation

Ten years after the seizure of the sanctuary, Philip brought the war—called both the Phocian War and the Sacred War—to an end. It was during the archonship of Theophilus at Athens, in the first year of the hundred and eighth Olympiad, when Polycles of Cyrene was victorious in the stadion-race. The cities of the Phocians were captured and razed entirely to the ground; their number included Lilaea, Hyampolis, Anticyra, the inhabitants along the Cephisus (Parapotamioi), Panopeus, and Daulis. These cities indeed had borne their names from ancient times, especially made famous by the verses of Homer.
