Greek Text

μετέσχον δὲ καὶ Φωκεῖς οἱ ἄλλοι πλὴν Δελφῶν καὶ Ἄβαντες ἐξ Εὐβοίας. τοῖς δὲ Φωκεῦσι Φιλογένης καὶ Δάμων οἱ Εὐκτήμονος Ἀθηναῖοι ναῦς τε διδόασιν ἐς τὸν πλοῦν καὶ αὐτοί σφισιν ἐς τὴν ἀποικίαν ἐγένοντο ἡγεμόνες· ὡς δὲ ταῖς ναυσὶν ἐς τὴν Ἀσίαν κατῆραν, ἐπʼ ἄλλην ἐτρέποντο ἄλλοι τῶν ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ πόλεων, Νειλεὺς δὲ καὶ ἡ σὺν αὐτῷ μοῖρα ἐς Μίλητον.

English Translation

The rest of the Phocians also took part, except for the Delphians, and the Abantes from Euboea participated as well. To the Phocians, Philogenes and Damon, the sons of Euctemon, Athenians, supplied ships for the voyage and themselves acted as leaders for the settlers. When the fleet made its landing in Asia, the various groups turned toward different coastal cities, Neileus and his contingent directing their course towards Miletus.
