Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

οἱ δὲ Φωκαεῖς γένος μὲν τὸ ἀνέκαθέν εἰσιν ἐκ τῆς ὑπὸ τῷ Παρνασσῷ καλουμένης καὶ ἐς ἡμᾶς ἔτι Φωκίδος, οἳ Φιλογένει καὶ Δάμωνι ὁμοῦ τοῖς Ἀθηναίοις διέβησαν ἐς τὴν Ἀσίαν. τὴν χώραν δὲ οὐ πολέμῳ, κατὰ δὲ ὁμολογίαν λαμβάνουσι παρὰ Κυμαίων· Ἰώνων δὲ οὐ δεχομένων σφᾶς ἐς Πανιώνιον πρὶν ἢ τοῦ γένους βασιλέας τοῦ Κοδριδῶν λάβωσιν, οὕτω παρὰ Ἐρυθραίων καὶ ἐκ Τέω Δεοίτην καὶ Πέρικλον λαμβάνουσι καὶ Ἄβαρτον.

English Translation

The Phocaeans were originally descended from that region beneath Parnassus which even down to our day is still called Phocis. Together with the Athenians under Philogenes and Damon, they crossed over into Asia. They obtained their land not through war, but by agreement with the Cymaeans. When the Ionians refused to admit them into the Panionion until they had taken kings descended from Codrus' lineage, they accordingly accepted from the Erythraeans and from Teos Deöites, Periklos, and Abartos.
