§13.1.8τότε μὲν οὖν τοιαῦτα ὑπῆρχεν, ὕστερον δὲ ἠκολούθησαν μεταβολαὶ παντοῖαι.
Such was the state of affairs at that time, but later all kinds of changes followed.
τὰ μὲν γὰρ περὶ Κύζικον Φρύγες ἐπῴκησαν ἕως Πρακτίου, τὰ δὲ περὶ Ἄβυδον Θρᾷκες· ἔτι δὲ πρότερον τούτων ἀμφοῖν Βέβρυκες καὶ Δρύοπες· τὰ δʼ ἑξῆς Τρῆρες, καὶ οὗτοι Θρᾷκες· τὸ δὲ Θήβης πεδίον Λυδοί, οἱ τότε Μῄονες, καὶ Μυσῶν οἱ περιγενόμενοι τῶν ὑπὸ Τηλέφῳ πρότερον καὶ Τεύθραντι.
For Phrygians settled the parts around Cyzicus as far as Practius, and Thracians the parts around Abydus; and even prior to both of these, the Bebryces and Dryopes; and the next regions the Treres, who also were Thracians; and the plain of Thebe, the Lydians, who were then called Maeonians, and those of the Mysians who survived, those formerly under Telephus and Teuthras.
οὕτω δὴ τοῦ ποιητοῦ τὴν Αἰολίδα καὶ τὴν Τροίαν εἰς ἓν συντιθέντος, καὶ τῶν Αἰολέων τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἕρμου πᾶσαν μέχρι τῆς κατὰ Κύζικον παραλίας κατασχόντων καὶ πόλεις κτισάντων, οὐδʼ ἂν ἡμεῖς ἀτόπως περιοδεύσαιμεν, εἰς ταὐτὸ συντιθέντες τήν τε Αἰολίδα νῦν ἰδίως λεγομένην τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἕρμου μέχρι Λεκτοῦ καὶ τὴν ἐφεξῆς μέχρι τοῦ Αἰσήπου.
Since the Poet thus combines Aeolis and Troy into one, and since the Aeolians occupied the entire coast from the Hermus as far as the region of Cyzicus and founded cities, we too would not be out of place in making our circuit, combining into the same whole both Aeolis properly so called now, from the Hermus as far as Lectum, and the next region as far as the Aesepus.
ἐν γὰρ τοῖς καθʼ ἕκαστα διακρινοῦμεν πάλιν, παρατιθέντες ἅμα τοῖς νῦν οὖσι τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ ποιητοῦ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων λεγόμενα.
For in the details we shall make distinctions again, comparing at the same time what is said by the Poet and others with the things now existing.
§13.1.9ἔστιν οὖν μετὰ τὴν τῶν Κυζικηνῶν πόλιν καὶ τὸν Αἴσηπον ἀρχὴ τῆς Τρῳάδος καθʼ Ὅμηρον.
Therefore, after the city of the Cyzicenes and the Aesepus is the beginning of the Troad according to Homer.
λέγει δʼ ἐκεῖνος μὲν οὕτω περὶ αὐτῆς
"
οἳ δὲ Ζέλειαν ἔναιον ὑπαὶ πόδα νείατον Ἴδης
ἀφνειοί, πίνοντες ὕδωρ μέλαν Αἰσήποιο,
Τρῶες· τῶν αὖθʼ ἦρχε Λυκάονος ἀγλαὸς υἱός,
Πάνδαρος.
And he speaks of it thus: "And they who dwelt in Zeleia, beneath the nethermost foot of Ida, wealthy men, who drink the dark water of Aesepus, Trojans; these again were led by the glorious son of Lycaon, Pandarus.
"
τούτους δὲ ἐκάλει καὶ Λυκίους· Ἀφνειοὺς δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Ἀφνίτιδος νομίζουσι λίμνης· καὶ γὰρ οὕτω καλεῖται ἡ Δασκυλῖτις.
"And he also called these Lycians; and they think they were called "Aphneioi" after Lake Aphnitis; for Lake Dascylitis is so called.
§13.1.10ἡ μὲν δὴ Ζέλεια ἐν τῇ παρωρείᾳ τῇ ὑστάτῃ τῆς Ἴδης ἔστιν, ἀπέχουσα Κυζίκου μὲν σταδίους ἐνενήκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν, τῆς δʼ ἐγγυτάτω θαλάττης καθʼ ἣν ἐκδίδωσιν Αἴσηπος ὅσον ὀγδοήκοντα.
Zeleia is situated on the lowest slopes of Ida, being one hundred and ninety stadia distant from Cyzicus, and about eighty from the nearest sea where the Aesepus empties.
ἐπιμερίζει δὲ συνεχῶς τὰ κατὰ τὴν μετὰ τὸν Αἴσηπον
"
οἳ δʼ Ἀδρήστειάν τʼ εἶχον καὶ δῆμον Ἀπαισοῦ,
καὶ Πιτύαν εἶχον καὶ Τηρείης ὄρος αἰπύ,
τῶν ἦρχʼ Ἄδρηστός τε καὶ Ἄμφιος λινοθώρηξ,
υἷε δύω Μέροπος Περκωσίου.
And he continuously apportions the parts following after the Aesepus: "And they who held Adrasteia and the land of Apaesus, and held Pityeia and the steep mountain of Tereia, these were led by Adrastus and Amphius of the linen corslet, the two sons of Merops of Percote.
"
ταῦτα δὲ τὰ χωρία τῇ Ζελείᾳ μὲν ὑποπέπτωκεν, ἔχουσι δὲ Κυζικηνοί τε καὶ Πριαπηνοὶ μέχρι καὶ τῆς παραλίας.
"These places are situated below Zeleia, but the Cyzicenes and Priapenes hold them even as far as the coast.
περὶ μὲν οὖν τὴν Ζέλειαν ὁ Τάρσιος ἔστι ποταμός, εἴκοσιν ἔχων διαβάσεις τῇ αὐτῇ ὁδῷ, καθάπερ ὁ Ἑπτάπορος, ὅν φησιν ὁ ποιητής.
Around Zeleia is the Tarsius River, which has twenty crossings on the same road, like the Heptaporus of which the Poet speaks.
§13.1.11ὑπὲρ δὲ τῆς ἐκβολῆς τοῦ Αἰσήπου σχεδόν τι σταδίοις κολωνὸς ἔστιν, ἐφʼ ᾧ τάφος δείκνυται Μέμνονος τοῦ Τιθωνοῦ· πλησίον δʼ ἔστι καὶ ἡ Μέμνονος κώμη.
And about [...] stadia above the outlet of the Aesepus there is a hill on which is shown the tomb of Memnon, the son of Tithonus; and nearby is also the village of Memnon.
τοῦ δὲ Αἰσήπου καὶ τοῦ Πριάπου μεταξὺ ὁ Γράνικος ῥεῖ τὰ πολλὰ διʼ Ἀδραστείας πεδίου, ἐφʼ ᾧ Ἀλέξανδρος τοὺς Δαρείου σατράπας ἀνὰ κράτος ἐνίκησε συμβαλών, καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἐντὸς τοῦ Ταύρου καὶ τοῦ Εὐφράτου παρέλαβεν.
Between the Aesepus and Priapus flows the Granicus, for the most part through the plain of Adrasteia, where Alexander met and completely defeated the satraps of Darius, and took over the entire country within the Taurus and the Euphrates.
ἐπὶ δὲ Γρανίκῳ πόλις ἦν Σιδήνη χώραν ἔχουσα πολλὴν ὁμώνυμον, κατέσπασται δὲ νῦν.
On the Granicus was the city of Sidene, which possessed a large territory of the same name, but it has now been demolished.
ἐν δὲ τῇ μεθορίᾳ τῆς Κυζικηνῆς καὶ τῆς Πριαπηνῆς ἔστι τὰ Ἁρπάγια τόπος, ἐξ οὗ τὸν Γανυμήδην μυθεύουσιν ἡρπάχθαι· ἄλλοι δὲ περὶ Δαρδάνιον ἄκραν πλησίον Δαρδάνου.
On the border between the Cyzicene and the Priapene territory is Harpagia, a place from which, they mythologize, Ganymede was snatched; but others say it was around the Dardanian promontory near Dardanus.
§13.1.12Πρίαπος δʼ ἔστι πόλις ἐπὶ θαλάττῃ καὶ λιμήν· κτίσμα δʼ οἱ μὲν Μιλησίων φασίν, οἵπερ καὶ Ἄβυδον καὶ Προκόννησον συνῴκισαν κατὰ τὸν αὐτὸν καιρόν, οἱ δὲ Κυζικηνῶν·
Priapus is a city on the sea and a harbor; some say it was a foundation of the Milesians, who also founded Abydus and Proconnesus at the same time, but others say of the Cyzicenes.
ἐπώνυμος δʼ ἐστὶ τοῦ Πριάπου τιμωμένου παρʼ αὐτοῖς, εἴτʼ ἐξ Ὀρνεῶν τῶν περὶ Κόρινθον μετενηνεγμένου τοῦ ἱεροῦ, εἴτε τῷ λέγεσθαι Διονύσου καὶ νύμφης τὸν θεὸν ὁρμησάντων ἐπὶ τὸ τιμᾶν αὐτὸν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐπειδὴ σφόδρα εὐάμπελός ἐστιν ἡ χώρα καὶ αὕτη καὶ ἐφεξῆς ὅμορος, ἥ τε τῶν Παριανῶν καὶ ἡ τῶν Λαμψακηνῶν· ὁ γοῦν Ξέρξης τῷ Θεμιστοκλεῖ εἰς οἶνον ἔδωκε τὴν Λάμψακον.
It is named after Priapus, who is honored among them, whether the worship was transferred from Orneae near Corinth, or because, since the land is highly fertile in vines—both this and the adjacent neighboring land, namely that of the Pariani and that of the Lampsacenes—men were impelled to honor the god because of his being called the son of Dionysus and a nymph; Xerxes, at any rate, gave Lampsacus to Themistocles for his wine.
ἀπεδείχθη δὲ θεὸς οὗτος ὑπὸ τῶν νεωτέρων· οὐδὲ γὰρ Ἡσίοδος οἶδε Πρίαπον, ἀλλʼ ἔοικε τοῖς Ἀττικοῖς Ὀρθάνῃ καὶ Κονισάλῳ καὶ Τύχωνι καὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις.
This deity was designated as a god by more recent writers; for not even Hesiod knows of Priapus, but he resembles the Attic Orthanes, Conisalus, Tychon, and the like.
