§13.1.50εἴρηται δὲ περὶ αὐτῶν καὶ πρότερον· καὶ νῦν δὲ προσληπτέον ὅτι Πήδασόν τινα λέγει πόλιν αὐτῶν ὑπὸ Ἄλτῃ τεταγμένην
"
Ἄλτεω, ὃς Λελέγεσσι φιλοπτολέμοισιν ἀνάσσει,
Πήδασον αἰπήεσσαν ἔχων ἐπὶ Σατνιόεντι.
They have been mentioned before; and now we must add that he calls a certain Pedasus a city of theirs, placed under Altes: "[daughter] of Altes, who rules over the war-loving Leleges, holding steep Pedasus upon the Satnioeis.
"
καὶ νῦν ὁ τόπος δείκνυται τῆς πόλεως ἔρημος.
"And now the site of the city is shown deserted.
γράφουσι δέ τινες οὐκ εὖ
ὑπὸ Σατνιόεντι,
ὡς ὑπὸ ὄρει Σατνιόεντι κειμένης τῆς πόλεως· οὐδὲν δʼ ἐστὶν ὄρος ἐνταῦθα Σατνιόεις προσαγορευόμενον, ἀλλὰ ποταμὸς ἐφʼ ᾧ ἵδρυται ἡ πόλις· νῦν δʼ ἐστὶν ἐρήμη.
But some write, incorrectly, "under the Satnioeis, "as if the city were situated under Mount Satnioeis; but there is no mountain here called Satnioeis, but a river on which the city is founded; but now it is deserted.
ὀνομάζει δὲ τὸν ποταμὸν ὁ ποιητής· "
Σάτνιον οὔτασε δουρὶ
Οἰνοπίδην, ὃν ἄρα νύμφη τέκε Νηὶς ἀμύμων
οἴνοπι βουκολέοντι παρʼ ὄχθαις Σατνιόεντος
"
καὶ πάλιν
"
ναῖε δὲ Σατνιόεντος ἐυρρείταο παρʼ ὄχθαις
Πήδασον αἰπεινήν.
And the poet names the river: "He wounded with his spear Satnius, son of Oenops, whom a noble Naiad nymph bore to Oenops as he herded his cattle by the banks of Satnioeis. "And again: "And he dwelt in steep Pedasus by the banks of fair-flowing Satnioeis.
"
Σατνιόεντα δʼ ὕστερον εἶπον, οἱ δὲ Σαφνιόεντα· ἔστι δὲ χείμαρρος μέγας· ἄξιον δὲ μνήμης πεποίηκεν ὀνομάζων ὁ ποιητὴς αὐτόν.
"Later they called it Satnioeis, and some Saphnioeis; and it is a large winter-torrent; but the poet made it worthy of mention by naming it.
οὗτοι δʼ οἱ τόποι συνεχεῖς εἰσι τῇ Δαρδανίᾳ καὶ τῇ Σκηψίᾳ, ὥσπερ ἄλλη τις Δαρδανία, ταπεινοτέρα δέ.
And these places are continuous with Dardania and Scepsia, being like another Dardania, but lower down.
§13.1.51Ἀσσίων δʼ ἐστὶ νῦν καὶ Γαργαρέων ἕως τῆς κατὰ Λέσβον θαλάττης περιεχόμενα τῇ τε Ἀντανδρίᾳ καὶ τῇ Κεβρηνίων καὶ Νεανδριέων καὶ Ἁμαξιτέων.
But now it belongs to the Assians and Gargarians, as far as the sea opposite Lesbos, enclosed by the territory of Antandros and that of the Cebrenians, Neandrians, and Hamaxitans.
τῆς μὲν γὰρ Ἁμαξιτοῦ Νεανδριεῖς ὑπέρκεινται, καὶ αὐτοὶ ὄντες ἐντὸς Λεκτοῦ, μεσογειότεροι δὲ καὶ πλησιαίτεροι τῷ Ἰλίῳ· διέχουσι γὰρ ἑκατὸν καὶ τριάκοντα σταδίους.
For the Neandrians lie above Hamaxitus, being themselves also within Lectum, but more inland and closer to Ilium; for they are distant one hundred and thirty stadia.
τούτων δὲ καθύπερθε Κεβρήνιοι, τούτων δὲ Δαρδάνιοι μέχρι Παλαισκήψεως καὶ αὐτῆς τῆς Σκήψεως.
Above these are the Cebrenians, and above these the Dardanians as far as Palaescepsis and Scepsis itself.
τὴν δὲ Ἄντανδρον Ἀλκαῖος μὲν καλεῖ Λελέγων πόλιν
"
πρῶτα μὲν Ἄντανδρος Λελέγων πόλις.
And Alcaeus calls Antandros a city of the Leleges: "First, Antandros, city of the Leleges.
"
ὁ δὲ Σκήψιος ἐν ταῖς παρακειμέναις τίθησιν, ὥστʼ ἐκπίπτοι ἂν εἰς τὴν τῶν Κιλίκων· οὗτοι γάρ εἰσι συνεχεῖς τοῖς Λέλεξι μᾶλλόν πως τὸ νότιον πλευρὸν τῆς Ἴδης ἀφορίζοντες· ταπεινοὶ δʼ ὅμως καὶ οὗτοι καὶ τῇ παραλίᾳ συνάπτοντες μᾶλλον τῇ κατὰ Ἀδραμύττιον.
"But the Scepsian places it among the neighboring cities, so that it would fall into the territory of the Cilicians; for these are continuous with the Leleges, defining in some way rather the southern side of Ida; yet these also are low down and rather touch the coast near Adramyttium.
μετὰ γὰρ τὸ Λεκτὸν τὸ Πολυμήδειον ἔστι χωρίον τι ἐν τετταράκοντα σταδίοις, εἶτʼ ἐν ὀγδοήκοντα Ἄσσος μικρὸν ὑπὲρ τῆς θαλάττης, εἶτʼ ἐν ἑκατὸν καὶ τετταράκοντα Γάργαρα· κεῖται δὲ τὰ Γάργαρα ἐπʼ ἄκρας ποιούσης τὸν ἰδίως Ἀδραμυττηνὸν καλούμενον κόλπον.
For after Lectum is Polymedeium, a certain place at forty stadia; then Assus at eighty stadia, slightly above the sea; then Gargara at one hundred and forty stadia; and Gargara lies on a promontory which forms what is properly called the Adramyttene Gulf.
λέγεται γὰρ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ ἀπὸ Λεκτοῦ μέχρι Κανῶν παραλία τῷ αὐτῷ τούτῳ ὀνόματι, ἐν ᾧ καὶ ὁ Ἐλαϊτικὸς περιλαμβάνεται· ἰδίως μέντοι τοῦτον φασὶν Ἀδραμυττηνόν, τὸν κλειόμενον ὑπὸ ταύτης τε τῆς ἄκρας ἐφʼ ᾗ τὰ Γάργαρα, καὶ τῆς Πυρρᾶς ἄκρας προσαγορευομένης ἐφʼ ᾗ καὶ ἀφροδίσιον ἵδρυται.
For the entire coast from Lectum to Canae is also called by this same name, in which the Elaitic Gulf is also included; however, they call this gulf properly Adramyttene, which is closed by this promontory on which Gargara lies and the promontory called Pyrrha on which an Aphrodisium is established.
πλάτος δὲ τοῦ στόματός ἐστιν ἀπὸ τῆς ἄκρας ἐπὶ τὴν ἄκραν δίαρμα ἑκατὸν καὶ εἴκοσι σταδίων.
And the width of the mouth is a distance of one hundred and twenty stadia from promontory to promontory.
ἐντὸς δὲ ἥ τε Ἄντανδρός ἐστιν ὑπερκείμενον ἔχουσα ὄρος ὃ καλοῦσιν Ἀλεξάνδρειαν, ὅπου τὰς θεὰς κριθῆναί φασιν ὑπὸ τοῦ Πάριδος, καὶ ὁ Ἀσπανεὺς τὸ ὑλοτόμιον τῆς Ἰδαίας ὕλης· ἐνταῦθα γὰρ διατίθενται κατάγοντες τοῖς δεομένοις.
And within is Antandros, having lying above it a mountain which they call Alexandria, where they say the goddesses were judged by Paris, and Aspaneus, the timber-yard of the Idaean wood; for here they bring it down and sell it to those who need it.
εἶτʼ Ἄστυρα, κώμη καὶ ἄλσος τῆς Ἀστυρηνῆς Ἀρτέμιδος ἅγιον.
Then Astyra, a village and a sacred grove of Astyrene Artemis.
πλησίον δʼ εὐθὺς τὸ Ἀδραμύττιον, Ἀθηναίων ἄποικος πόλις ἔχουσα καὶ λιμένα καὶ ναύσταθμον· ἔξω δὲ τοῦ κόλπου καὶ τῆς Πυρρᾶς ἄκρας ἥ τε Κισθήνη ἐστὶ πόλις ἔρημος ἔχουσα λιμένα.
And immediately nearby is Adramyttium, an Athenian colony having both a harbor and a naval station; and outside the gulf and the Pyrrha promontory is Cisthene, a deserted city having a harbor.
ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς δʼ ἐν τῇ μεσογαίᾳ τό τε τοῦ χαλκοῦ μέταλλον καὶ Περπερηνὴ καὶ Τράριον καὶ ἄλλαι τοιαῦται κατοικίαι.
And above it in the interior is both the copper mine and Perperene and Trarium and other such settlements.
ἐν δὲ τῇ παραλίᾳ τῇ ἐφεξῆς αἱ τῶν Μιτυληναίων κῶμαι Κορυφαντίς τε καὶ Ἡράκλεια, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα Ἄττεα, εἶτʼ Ἀταρνεὺς καὶ Πιτάνη καὶ αἱ τοῦ Καΐκου ἐκβολαί· ταῦτα δʼ ἤδη τοῦ Ἐλαϊτῶν κόλπου· καὶ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ περαίᾳ ἡ Ἐλαία καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς μέχρι Κανῶν κόλπος.
And on the coast next to it are the villages of the Mytilaeneans, Coryphantis and Heracleia, and after these Attea, then Atarneus and Pitane and the outlets of the Caicus; and these are already in the Elaitic Gulf; and on the opposite side is Elaea and the rest of the gulf as far as Canae.
λέγωμεν δὲ ἀναλαβόντες περὶ τῶν καθʼ ἕκαστα πάλιν, εἴ τι παραλέλειπται μνήμης ἄξιον, καὶ πρῶτον περὶ τῆς Σκήψεως.
But let us speak, taking up the details again, if anything worthy of mention has been omitted, and first about Scepsis.
