Greek Text

Ἄσιος μὲν ἐς τοσοῦτο ἐν τοῖς ἔπεσιν ἐδήλωσε· τότε δὲ οἱ τὴν νῆσον οἰκοῦντες ἀνάγκῃ πλέον ἐδέξαντο ἢ εὐνοίᾳ συνοίκους Ἴωνας. ἡγεμὼν δὲ ἦν τοῖς Ἴωσι Προκλῆς ὁ Πιτυρέως, αὐτός τε Ἐπιδαύριος καὶ Ἐπιδαυρίους ἦν τὸ πολὺ ἄγων, οἳ ὑπὸ Δηιφόντου καὶ Ἀργείων ἐκ τῆς Ἐπιδαυρίας ἐξεπεπτώκεσαν· τούτῳ τῷ Προκλεῖ γένος ἦν ἀπὸ Ἴωνος τοῦ Ξούθου. Ἄνδροκλος δὲ καὶ Ἐφέσιοι στρατεύουσιν ἐπὶ Λεώγορον τὸν Προκλέους, βασιλεύοντα μετὰ τὸν πατέρα ἐν Σάμῳ, καὶ μάχῃ νικήσαντες ἐξελαύνουσιν ἐκ τῆς νήσου Σαμίους· αἰτίαν δὲ ἐπέφερον μετὰ Καρῶν σφᾶς ἐπιβουλεύειν Ἴωσι.

English Translation

Asios made this much known in his verses. But at that time, the inhabitants of the island received the Ionians as settlers rather through compulsion than out of goodwill. Leading the Ionians was Procles, son of Pityreus, himself an Epidaurian who for the most part brought Epidaurians with him, men who had been driven from Epidauria by Deiphontes and the Argives. Procles traced his ancestry back to Ion, the son of Xuthus. Later, Androclus and the Ephesians marched against Leogorus, the son of Procles, who at that time ruled in Samos after his father, and, defeating him in battle, expelled the Samians from the island. They accused the Samians of plotting together with the Carians against the Ionians.
