Passage 7.18.4
ᾠκίσθη δὲ καὶ τρίτη μεταξὺ Ἀνθείας καὶ Ἀρόης Μεσάτις πόλις. ὁπόσα δὲ οἱ Πατρεῖς περὶ Διονύσου λέγουσι, τραφῆναί τε αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ Μεσάτει καὶ ἐνταῦθα ἐπιβουλευθέντα ὑπὸ Τιτάνων ἐς παντοῖον ἀφικέσθαι κίνδυνον, οὐκ ἐναντιούμενος τοῖς Πατρεῦσιν τῆς Μεσάτεως τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῖς σφισιν ἐξηγεῖσθαι παρίημι.
A third city, Mesatis, was also founded between Antheia and Aroe. Concerning all the traditions the Patreans recount about Dionysus—how he was reared in Mesatis and was there plotted against by the Titans, thus undergoing numerous perils—I shall not contradict the Patreans, but leave them to explain among themselves the origin of the name Mesatis.
