§1.27.1οἱ δὲ μετανάστας μυθολογοῦντες αὐτοὺς εἶναι Τυρρηνὸν ἀποφαίνουσιν ἡγεμόνα τῆς ἀποικίας γενόμενον ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ θέσθαι τῷ ἔθνει τοὔνομα· τοῦτον δὲ Λυδὸν εἶναι τὸ γένος ἐκ τῆς πρότερον Μῃονίας καλουμένης, παλαιὸν δή τινα μετανάστην ὄντα· εἶναι δʼ αὐτὸν πέμπτον ἀπὸ Διὸς, λέγοντες ἐκ Διὸς καὶ Γῆς Μάνην γενέσθαι πρῶτον ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ βασιλέα· τούτου δὲ καὶ Καλλιρόης τῆς Ὠκεανοῦ θυγατρὸς γεννηθῆναι Κότυν· τῷ δὲ Κότυϊ γήμαντι θυγατέρα Τύλλου τοῦ γηγενοῦς Ἁλίην δύο γενέσθαι παῖδας Ἀσίην καὶ Ἄτυν· §1.27.2ἐκ δὲ Ἄτυος καὶ Καλλιθέας τῆς Χωραίου Λυδὸν φῦναι καὶ Τυρρηνόν· καὶ τὸν μὲν Λυδὸν αὐτοῦ καταμείναντα τὴν πατρῴαν ἀρχὴν παραλαβεῖν καὶ ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ Λυδίαν τὴν γῆν ὀνομασθῆναι· Τυρρηνὸν δὲ τῆς ἀποικίας ἡγησάμενον πολλὴν κτήσασθαι τῆς Ἰταλίας καὶ τοῖς συναραμένοις τοῦ στόλου ταύτην θέσθαι τὴν ἐπωνυμίαν.
But those who mythologize them to be immigrants declare Tyrrhenus, who became leader of the colony, to have given his name to the nation from himself; and that this man was a Lydian by race from the land formerly called Maeonia, being a certain ancient immigrant; and that he was fifth from Zeus, saying that Manes was born from Zeus and Ge as the first king in this land; and that from him and Callirhoe, the daughter of Oceanus, Cotys was born; and to Cotys, having married Halia the daughter of Tyllus the earth-born, two sons were born, Asies and Atys; and from Atys and Callithea the daughter of Choraeus, Lydus and Tyrrhenus were born; and that Lydus, remaining there, received his father's rule, and from him the land was named Lydia; and that Tyrrhenus, having led the colony, acquired a great part of Italy, and gave this name to those who took part in the expedition.
§1.27.3Ἡροδότῳ δὲ εἴρηνται Ἄτυος τοῦ Μάνεω παῖδες οἱ περὶ Τυρρηνὸν, καὶ ἡ μετανάστασις τῶν Μῃόνων εἰς Ἰταλίαν οὐχ ἑκούσιος.
But by Herodotus, those around Tyrrhenus are said to be sons of Atys, the son of Manes, and the migration of the Maeonians to Italy not voluntary.
φησὶ γὰρ ἐπὶ τῆς Ἄτυος ἀρχῆς ἀφορίαν καρπῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ Μῃόνων γενέσθαι, τοὺς δὲ ἀνθρώπους τέως μὲν ὑπὸ τῆς φιλοχωρίας κρατουμένους πολλὰ διαμηχανήσασθαι πρὸς τὴν συμφορὰν ἀλεξητήρια, τῇ μὲν ἑτέρᾳ τῶν ἡμερῶν μέτρια σιτία προσφερομένους, τῇ δʼ ἑτέρᾳ διακαρτεροῦντας· χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ δεινοῦ διανείμαντας ἅπαντα τὸν δῆμον διχῇ κλήρους ταῖς μοίραις ἐπιβαλεῖν· τὸν μὲν ἐπʼ ἐξόδῳ τῆς χώρας, τὸν δʼ ἐπὶ μονῇ, καὶ τῶν Ἄτυος παίδων τὸν μὲν τῇ προσνεῖμαι, τὸν δὲ τῇ.
For he says that during the reign of Atys there was a famine in the land of the Maeonians, and that the people for a time, being overcome by their love of the country, devised many remedies against the calamity, taking moderate food on one of the days, and holding out on the other; but as the distress continued, having divided all the people into two parts, they cast lots for the divisions: one lot for leaving the country, and the other for staying, and assigned one of the sons of Atys to one division, and the other to the other.
§1.27.4λαχούσης δὲ τῆς ἅμα Λυδῷ μοίρας τὴν τοῦ μεῖναι τύχην, ἐκχωρῆσαι τὴν ἑτέραν ἀπολαχοῦσαν τῶν χρημάτων τὰ μέρη, ὁρμισαμένην δʼ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἑσπερίοις μέρεσι τῆς Ἰταλίας, ἔνθα ἦν Ὀμβρικοῖς ἡ οἴκησις, αὐτοῦ καταμείνασαν ἱδρύσασθαι πόλεις τὰς ἔτι καὶ κατʼ αὐτὸν ἐκεῖνον οὔσας.
And when the division with Lydus drew the lot to stay, the other division, having received by lot their share of the possessions, departed; and having landed on the western parts of Italy, where the Ombrians had their dwelling, they remained there and founded the cities which were still in existence even in his own time.
