Passage 4.1.4
σαφέστερον δὲ ἔτι περὶ τοῦ τόξου λέγων τοῦ Ἰφίτου τὼ δʼ ἐν Μεσσήνῃ ξυμβλήτην ἀλλήλοιιν οἴκῳ ἐν Ὀρτιλόχοιο. Hom. Od. 21.15 τοῦ γὰρ Ὀρτιλόχου τὸν οἶκον ἐν τῇ Μεσσήνῃ πόλισμα εἴρηκε τὰς Φηράς, καὶ τόδε ἐξηγήσατο αὐτὸς ἐν Πεισιστράτου παρὰ Μενέλαον ἀποδημίᾳ· ἐς Φηρὰς δʼ ἵκοντο Διοκλῆος ποτὶ δῶμα, υἱέος Ὀρτιλόχοιο. Hom. Od. 3.488
Speaking still more clearly concerning the bow of Iphitus, Homer says: "And they met one another in Messene, in the house of Ortilochus." (Odyssey 21.15) By the house of Ortilochus he indicates the city of Pherae in Messene, as he himself explains in the visit of Pisistratus to Menelaus: "And they came to Pherae, to the house of Diocles, son of Ortilochus." (Odyssey 3.488)
