Greek Text

πέμπτοι δὲ Αἰγινῆται, μετὰ δὲ Αἰγινήτας Μεγαρεῖς καὶ Ἐπιδαύριοι, Ἀρκάδων δὲ Τεγεᾶταί τε καὶ Ὀρχομένιοι, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτοῖς ὅσοι Φλιοῦντα καὶ Τροίζηνα καὶ Ἑρμιόνα οἰκοῦσιν, ἐκ δὲ χώρας τῆς Ἀργείας Τιρύνθιοι, Πλαταιεῖς δὲ μόνοι Βοιωτῶν, καὶ Ἀργείων οἱ Μυκήνας ἔχοντες, νησιῶται δὲ Κεῖοι καὶ Μήλιοι, Ἀμβρακιῶται δὲ ἐξ ἠπείρου τῆς Θεσπρωτίδος, Τήνιοί τε καὶ Λεπρεᾶται, Λεπρεᾶται μὲν τῶν ἐκ τῆς Τριφυλίας μόνοι, ἐκ δὲ Αἰγαίου καὶ τῶν Κυκλάδων οὐ Τήνιοι μόνοι ἀλλὰ καὶ Νάξιοι καὶ Κύθνιοι, ἀπὸ δὲ Εὐβοίας Στυρεῖς, μετὰ δὲ τούτους Ἠλεῖοι καὶ Ποτιδαιᾶται καὶ Ἀνακτόριοι, τελευταῖοι δὲ Χαλκιδεῖς οἱ ἐπὶ τῷ Εὐρίπῳ.

English Translation

Fifth were the Aeginetans, and after them came the Megarians and the Epidaurians; of the Arcadians were the Tegeans and the Orchomenians; following these were those who inhabited Phlius, Troezen, and Hermione; from Argive territory came the Tirynthians, and the Plataeans were the only Boeotians present. Also participating were the Argives holding Mycenae; islanders attending included the Ceans and the Melians, and from the mainland facing Thesprotia came the Ambraciots. There were also the Tenians and Lepreans—the Lepreans alone came from Triphylia; and from the Aegean and the Cyclades were represented not only the Tenians but also the Naxians and Cythnians. From Euboea came the Styrians; and following these, the Eleans, the Potidaeans, and the Anactorians participated. Lastly came the Chalcidians who dwell by the Euripus.
