Passage 7.2.5
Μιλήσιοι δὲ αὐτοὶ τοιάδε τὰ ἀρχαιότατά σφισιν εἶναι λέγουσιν· ἐπὶ γενεὰς μὲν δύο Ἀνακτορίαν καλεῖσθαι τὴν γῆν Ἄνακτός τε αὐτόχθονος καὶ Ἀστερίου βασιλεύοντος τοῦ Ἄνακτος, Μιλήτου δὲ κατάραντος στόλῳ Κρητῶν ἥ τε γῆ τὸ ὄνομα μετέβαλεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Μιλήτου καὶ ἡ πόλις. ἀφίκετο δὲ ἐκ Κρήτης ὁ Μίλητος καὶ ὁ σὺν αὐτῷ στρατὸς Μίνω τὸν Εὐρώπης φεύγοντες, οἱ δὲ Κᾶρες οἱ πρότερον νεμόμενοι τὴν χώραν σύνοικοι τοῖς Κρησὶν ἐγένοντο·
The Milesians themselves relate the following very ancient traditions concerning them: for two generations the land was called Anaktoria, when Anax, who was autochthonous, ruled, and after him Asterios, the son of Anax. But when Miletos arrived leading an expedition of Cretans, both the land and the city changed their name after him. Miletos and the army accompanying him had come from Crete, fleeing from Minos, the son of Europa; and the Carians, who formerly inhabited the region, coexisted with the Cretans.
