The narrative details the early settlement history of Teos, Erythrae, Clazomenae, and Phocaea, showing how they were inhabited and organized under the leadership of the descendants of Codrus and other Greek figures.
Τέων1 δὲ ᾤκουν μὲν Ὀρχομένιοι Μινύαι σὺν Ἀθάμαντι ἐς αὐτὴν ἐλθόντες· λέγεται δὲ ὁ Ἀθάμας οὗτος ἀπόγονος Ἀθάμαντος εἶναι τοῦ Αἰόλου. ἀναμεμιγμένοι μὲν τῷ Ἑλληνικῷ καὶ ἐνταῦθα ἦσαν οἱ Κᾶρες· ἐσήγαγε δὲ Ἴωνας ἐς τὴν Τέων Ἄποικος ἀπόγονος Μελάνθου τέταρτος, ὃς τοῖς Ὀρχομενίοις οὐδὲ τοῖς Τηίοις νεώτερον ἐβούλευσεν οὐδέν. ἔτεσι δὲ οὐ πολλοῖς ὕστερον ἔκ τε Ἀθηναίων καὶ ἐκ Βοιωτίας ἀφίκοντο ἄνδρες· ἡγοῦντο δὲ τοῦ μὲν Ἀττικοῦ Δάμασος καὶ Νάοκλος Κόδρου παῖδες, τῶν δὲ Βοιωτῶν Γέρης Βοιωτός· καὶ σφᾶς συναμφοτέρους ὅ τε Ἄποικος καὶ οἱ Τήιοι συνοίκους ἐδέξαντο.
In Teos there lived Orchomenian Minyans who had come to it with Athamas; this Athamas is said to be a descendant of Athamas, the son of Aeolus. Here too the Carians were mixed with the Greeks. And Apoecus, a fourth-generation descendant of Melanthus, brought the Ionians into Teos, who planned no innovation against either the Orchomenians or the Teians. Not many years later, men arrived from Athens and from Boeotia; Damasus and Naoclus, sons of Codrus, led the Atticans, while Geres, a Boeotian, led the Boeotians; and both Apoecus and the Teians received them all together as fellow-settlers.
Ἐρυθραῖοι δὲ τὸ μὲν ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀφικέσθαι σὺν Ἐρύθρῳ τῷ Ῥαδαμάνθυός φασιν ἐκ Κρήτης καὶ οἰκιστὴν τῇ πόλει γενέσθαι τὸν Ἔρυθρον· ἐχόντων δὲ αὐτὴν ὁμοῦ τοῖς Κρησὶ Λυκίων καὶ Καρῶν τε καὶ Παμφύλων, Λυκίων μὲν κατὰ συγγένειαν τὴν Κρητῶν —καὶ γὰρ οἱ Λύκιοι τὸ ἀρχαῖόν εἰσιν ἐκ Κρήτης, οἳ Σαρπηδόνι ὁμοῦ ἔφυγον—, Καρῶν δὲ κατὰ φιλίαν ἐκ παλαιοῦ πρὸς Μίνω, Παμφύλων δὲ ὅτι γένους μέτεστιν Ἑλληνικοῦ καὶ τούτοις—εἰσὶ γὰρ δὴ καὶ οἱ Πάμφυλοι τῶν μετὰ ἅλωσιν Ἰλίου πλανηθέντων σὺν Κάλχαντι—, τούτων τῶν κατειλεγμένων ἐχόντων Ἐρυθράς,2 Κλέοπος ὁ Κόδρου συλλέξας ἐξ ἁπασῶν τῶν ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ πόλεων ὅσους δὴ παρὰ ἑκάστων ἐπεισήγαγεν Ἐρυθραίοις συνοίκους.
The Erythraeans say that in the beginning they arrived from Crete with Erythrus, the son of Rhadamanthys, and that Erythrus became the founder of the city. While Lycians, Carians, and Pamphylians held it together with the Cretans — the Lycians because of their kinship with the Cretans (for the Lycians are anciently from Crete, who fled together with Sarpedon), the Carians because of their friendship of old with Minos, and the Pamphylians because they also have a share in the Greek race (for indeed the Pamphylians are of those who wandered with Calchas after the capture of Ilium) — while these enumerated peoples held Erythrae, Cleopus, the son of Codrus, gathered from all the cities in Ionia as many as he could from each and introduced them to the Erythraeans as fellow-settlers.
Κλαζομενίοις δὲ καὶ Φωκαεῦσι, πρὶν μὲν ἢ Ἴωνας ἐς τὴν Ἀσίαν ἐλθεῖν, οὐκ ᾠκοῦντο αἱ πόλεις· Ἰώνων δὲ ἀφικομένων μοῖρα ἐξ αὐτῶν πλανωμένη μετεπέμψατο ἡγεμόνα παρὰ Κολοφωνίων Πάρφορον, καὶ πόλιν κτίσαντες ὑπὸ τῇ Ἴδῃ τὴν μὲν οὐ μετὰ πολὺ ἐκλείπουσιν, ἐπανιόντες δὲ ἐς Ἰωνίαν Σκύππιον τῆς Κολοφωνίας ἔκτισαν.
For the Clazomenians and the Phocaeans, before the Ionians came to Asia, their cities were not inhabited. But when the Ionians arrived, a wandering portion of them summoned Parphorus as leader from the Colophonians, and having founded a city under Mount Ida, they abandoned it not long after, and returning to Ionia, they founded Scyppium in the territory of Colophon.
ἀπελθόντες δὲ ἑκουσίως καὶ ἐκ τῆς Κολοφωνίας, οὕτω γῆν τε ἔσχον, ἣν καὶ νῦν ἔτι ἔχουσι, καὶ κατεσκευάσαντο ἐν τῇ ἠπείρῳ Κλαζομενὰς πόλιν· ἐς δὲ τὴν νῆσον διέβησαν δὴ κατὰ τὸ Περσῶν δέος. Ἀλέξανδρος δὲ ἀνὰ χρόνον ἔμελλεν ὁ Φιλίππου χερρόνησον Κλαζομενὰς ἐργάσεσθαι χώματι ἐς τὴν νῆσον ἐκ τῆς ἠπείρου. τούτων τῶν Κλαζομενίων τὸ πολὺ οὐκ Ἴωνες, Κλεωναῖοι δὲ ἦσαν καὶ ἐκ Φλιοῦντος, ὅσοι Δωριέων ἐς Πελοπόννησον κατελθόντων ἐξέλιπον τὰς πόλεις·
And departing voluntarily also from the Colophonian land, they thus got possession of the land which they still have even now, and built the city of Clazomenae on the mainland; but they crossed over to the island indeed because of their fear of the Persians. But in course of time Alexander, the son of Philip, was to make Clazomenae a peninsula by a causeway to the island from the mainland. The greater part of these Clazomenians were not Ionians, but Cleonaeans and people from Phlius, who left their cities when the Dorians returned to the Peloponnesus.
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,3 οὕτω παρὰ Ἐρυθραίων καὶ ἐκ Τέω Δεοίτην καὶ Πέρικλον λαμβάνουσι καὶ Ἄβαρτον.
The Phocaeans are in origin from the region under Mount Parnassus, which is still called Phocis even in our day, who crossed over to Asia with the Athenians under Philogenes and Damon. They obtained their land not by war, but by agreement from the Cymaeans; but as the Ionians would not receive them into the Panionium until they should take kings of the race of the Codridae, they thus took Deoites, Periclus, and Abartus from the Erythraeans and from Teos.
- 7.3.6Τέων
The accusative functions as the object indicating the place for the intransitive verb ᾤκουν (lived). While place is usually expressed with a prepositional phrase, here it is directly in the accusative, possibly influenced by the following participle phrase ἐς αὐτὴν ἐλθόντες.
- 7.3.7τούτων τῶν κατειλεγμένων ἐχόντων Ἐρυθράς
Due to the long parenthetical insertion (Λυκίων μὲν...), the genitive absolute construction from the beginning of the sentence (ἐχόντων δὲ αὐτὴν...) is repeated here with a new noun phrase to clarify the connection with the main clause (Κλέοπος... ἐπεισήγαγεν).
- 7.3.10πρὶν ἢ τοῦ γένους βασιλέας τοῦ Κοδριδῶν λάβωσιν
Since the leading clause contains a negative sense (οὐ δεχομένων, 'not receiving'), πρὶν ἤ with the subjunctive (without ἄν) expresses a conditional limitation meaning 'until they should...'. This is a characteristic construction of later prose such as Pausanias.
