Passage 9.8.6
τὰς δὲ Ὁμολωίδας κληθῆναί φασιν ἐπὶ τοιῷδε. ἡνίκα ὑπὸ Ἀργείων μάχῃ πρὸς Γλίσαντι ἐκρατήθησαν, τότε ὁμοῦ Λαοδάμαντι τῷ Ἐτεοκλέους ὑπεξίασιν οἱ πολλοί· τούτων οὖν μοῖρα τὴν μὲν ἐς τοὺς Ἰλλυριοὺς πορείαν ἀπώκνησε, τραπόμενοι δὲ ἐς Θεσσαλοὺς καταλαμβάνουσιν Ὁμόλην, ὀρῶν τῶν Θεσσαλικῶν καὶ εὔγεων μάλιστα καὶ ὕδασιν ἐπιρρεομένην.
They say the Homoloïdae received their name in the following way. After their defeat by the Argives in the battle at Glisas, most of them fled together with Laodamas, the son of Eteocles. Of these fugitives, a certain portion shrank from the journey to Illyria, and turning instead toward Thessaly, they occupied Homole, a region among the Thessalian mountains especially fertile and abundantly watered.
