§9.2.8εἶτα λιμὴν μέγας ὃν καλοῦσι Βαθὺν λιμένα· εἶθʼ ἡ Αὐλὶς πετρῶδες χωρίον καὶ κώμη Ταναγραίων·
Next is a large harbor which they call Deep Harbor; then Aulis, a rocky place and a village of the Tanagraeans.
λιμὴν δʼ ἐστὶ πεντήκοντα πλοίοις, ὥστʼ εἰκὸς τὸν ναύσταθμον τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐν τῷ μεγάλῳ ὑπάρξαι λιμένι.
It has a harbor for fifty ships, so that it is natural that the naval station of the Greeks existed in the large harbor.
καὶ ὁ Εὔριπος δʼ ἐστὶ πλησίον ὁ Χαλκίδος, εἰς ὃν ἀπὸ Σουνίου στάδιοι ἑξακόσιοι ἑβδομήκοντα·
And nearby is also the Euripus of Chalcis, to which from Sunium is six hundred and seventy stadia.
ἔστι δʼ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ γέφυρα δίπλεθρος, ὡς εἴρηκα· πύργος δʼ ἑκατέρωθεν ἐφέστηκεν ὁ μὲν ἐκ τῆς Χαλκίδος ὁ δʼ ἐκ τῆς Βοιωτίας· διῳκοδόμηται δʼ εἰς αὐτοὺς σῦριγξ.
Upon it is a bridge of two plethra, as I have said; and a tower stands on either side, the one from Chalcis and the other from Boeotia; and a passage has been constructed into them.
περὶ δὲ τῆς παλιρροίας τοῦ Εὐρίπου τοσοῦτον μόνον εἰπεῖν ἱκανόν, ὅτι ἑπτάκις μεταβάλλειν φασὶ καθʼ ἡμέραν ἑκάστην καὶ νύκτα· τὴν δʼ αἰτίαν ἐν ἄλλοις σκεπτέον.
Concerning the ebb and flow of the Euripus, it is enough to say only this, that they say it changes seven times each day and night; and the cause of this must be considered elsewhere.
§9.2.9πλησίον δʼ ἐστὶν ἐφʼ ὕψους κείμενον χωρίον Σαλγανεύς, ἐπώνυμον τοῦ ταφέντος ἐπʼ αὐτῷ Σαλγανέως ἀνδρὸς Βοιωτίου, καθηγησαμένου τοῖς Πέρσαις εἰσπλέουσιν εἰς τὸν διάπλουν τοῦτον ἐκ τοῦ Μαλιακοῦ κόλπου, ὅν φασιν ἀναιρεθῆναι πρὶν ἢ τῷ Εὐρίπῳ συνάπτειν ὑπὸ τοῦ ναυάρχου Μεγαβάτου νομισθέντα κακοῦργον, ὡς ἐξ ἀπάτης ἐμβαλόντα τὸν στόλον εἰς τυφλὸν τῆς θαλάττης στενωπόν· αἰσθόμενον δὲ τὸν βάρβαρον τὴν περὶ αὐτὸν ἀπάτην μεταγνῶναί τε καὶ ταφῆς ἀξιῶσαι τὸν ἀναιτίως ἀποθανόντα.
Nearby is a place situated on a height, Salganeus, named after Salganeus, a Boeotian man who was buried there, who guided the Persians as they sailed into this channel from the Maliac Gulf; they say he was put to death before reaching the Euripus by the commander Megabates, who thought him a traitor who had deceitfully led the fleet into a dead-end strait of the sea; but when the barbarian realized his own mistake, he repented and deemed the innocently killed man worthy of burial.
§9.2.10καὶ ἡ Γραῖα δʼ ἐστὶ τόπος Ὠρωποῦ πλησίον καὶ τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἀμφιαράου καὶ τὸ Ναρκίσσου τοῦ Ἐρετριέως μνῆμα ὃ καλεῖται Σιγηλοῦ, ἐπειδὴ σιγῶσι παριόντες·
And Graea is a place near Oropus, and also the temple of Amphiaraus and the monument of Narcissus the Eretrian, which is called the monument of the Silent One, because they pass it in silence.
τινὲς δὲ τῇ Τανάγρᾳ τὴν αὐτήν φασιν· ἡ Ποιμανδρὶς δʼ ἐστὶν ἡ αὐτὴ τῇ Ταναγρικῇ· καλοῦνται δὲ καὶ Γεφυραῖοι οἱ Ταναγραῖοι.
Some say that Graea is the same as Tanagra; and Poimandris is the same as the Tanagraean territory; and the Tanagraeans are also called Gephyraeans.
ἐκ Κνωπίας δὲ τῆς Θηβαϊκῆς μεθιδρύ δεῦρο τὸ Ἀμφιαράειον.
The Amphiaraeum was transferred here from the Theban Cnopia.
§9.2.11καὶ ὁ Μυκαλησσὸς δὲ κώμη τῆς Ταναγραϊκῆς· κεῖται δὲ παρʼ ὁδὸν Θηβῶν εἰς Χαλκίδα·
And Mycalessus is a village of the Tanagraean territory; it lies on the road from Thebes to Chalcis.
ὡς δʼ αὕτως καὶ τὸ Ἅρμα, τῆς Ταναγραϊκῆς κώμη ἔρημος περὶ τὴν Μυκαλησσόν, ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἀμφιαράου ἅρματος λαβοῦσα τοὔνομα, ἑτέρα οὖσα τοῦ Ἅρματος τοῦ κατὰ τὴν Ἀττικήν, ὅ ἐστι περὶ Φυλήν, δῆμον τῆς Ἀττικῆς ὅμορον τῇ Τανάγρᾳ.
Likewise also Harma, a deserted village of the Tanagraean territory near Mycalessus, which took its name from the chariot of Amphiaraus, being different from the Harma in Attica, which is near Phyle, a deme of Attica bordering on Tanagra.
ἐντεῦθεν δὲ ἡ παροιμία τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔσχεν ἡ λέγουσα
ὁπόταν διʼ Ἅρματος ἀστράψῃ,
ἀστραπήν τινα σημειουμένων κατὰ χρησμὸν τῶν λεγομένων Πυθαϊστῶν, βλεπόντων ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ Ἅρμα καὶ τότε πεμπόντων τὴν θυσίαν εἰς Δελφοὺς ὅταν ἀστράψαντα ἴδωσιν·
From this indeed originated the proverb which says: 'Whenever it lightens through Harma,' because those who are called Pythaists observe a certain lightning according to an oracle, looking toward Harma, and then send the sacrifice to Delphi when they see it lighten.
ἐτήρουν δʼ ἐπὶ τρεῖς μῆνας, καθʼ ἕκαστον μῆνα ἐπὶ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ νύκτας, ἀπὸ τῆς ἐσχάρας τοῦ ἀστραπαίου Διός· ἔστι δʼ αὕτη ἐν τῷ τείχει μεταξὺ τοῦ Πυθίου καὶ τοῦ Ὀλυμπίου.
They observed for three months, for three days and nights in each month, from the hearth of Zeus the Lightener; and this is in the wall between the Pythium and the Olympium.
περὶ δὲ τοῦ Ἅρματος τοῦ Βοιωτιακοῦ οἱ μέν φασιν ἐκπεσόντος ἐκ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐν τῇ μάχῃ τοῦ Ἀμφιαράου κατὰ τὸν τόπον, ὅπου νῦν ἐστὶ τὸ ἱερὸν αὐτοῦ, τὸ ἅρμα ἔρημον ἐνεχθῆναι ἐπὶ τὸν ὁμώνυμον τόπον· οἱ δὲ τοῦ Ἀδράστου συντριβῆναι τὸ ἅρμα φεύγοντός φασιν ἐνταῦθα, τὸν δὲ διὰ τοῦ Ἀρείονος σωθῆναι.
Concerning the Boeotian Harma, some say that when Amphiaraus fell from his chariot in the battle at the place where his temple now is, the empty chariot was carried to the place of the same name; others say that the chariot of Adrastus was shattered here as he was fleeing, and that he was saved by Areion.
Φιλόχορος δʼ ὑπὸ τῶν κωμητῶν σωθῆναί φησιν αὐτόν, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἰσοπολιτείαν αὐτοῖς παρὰ τῶν Ἀργείων ὑπάρξαι.
But Philochorus says that he was saved by the villagers, and for this reason they received equal citizenship from the Argives.
§9.2.12ἔστι δὲ τῷ ἐκ Θηβῶν εἰς Ἄργος ἀνιόντι ἐν ἀριστερᾷ ἡ Τάναγρα κ ἐν δεξιᾷ κεῖται· καὶ ἡ Ὑρία δὲ τῆς Ταναγραίας νῦν ἐστί, πρότερον δὲ τῆς Θηβαΐδος·
For one going up from Thebes to Argos, Tanagra lies on the left, and <...> on the right; and Hyria now belongs to the Tanagraean territory, but formerly to the Theban.
ὅπου ὁ Ὑριεὺς μεμύθευται καὶ ἡ τοῦ Ὠρίωνος γένεσις, ἥν φησι Πίνδαρος ἐν τοῖς διθυράμβοις· κεῖται δʼ ἐγγὺς Αὐλίδος.
This is where Hyrieus is mythologized and the birth of Orion, which Pindar mentions in his dithyrambs; and it lies near Aulis.
ἔνιοι δὲ τὰς Ὑσιὰς Ὑρίην λέγεσθαί φασι, τῆς Παρασωπίας οὖσαν ὑπὸ τῷ Κιθαιρῶνι πλησίον Ἐρυθρῶν ἐν τῇ μεσογαίᾳ, ἄποικον Ὑριέων, κτίσμα δὲ Νυκτέως τοῦ Ἀντιόπης πατρός.
Some say that Hysiae is called Hyria, being in the Parasopia, below Cithaeron, near Erythrae in the interior, a colony of the Hyrians, and a foundation of Nycteus, the father of Antiope.
εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ ἐν τῇ Ἀργείᾳ Ὑσίαι κώ, οἱ δʼ ἐξ αὐτῆς Ὑσιᾶται λέγονται.
There is also in the Argive territory a village Hysiae <...>, and those from it are called Hysiatae.
τῶν δʼ Ἐρυθρῶν τούτων ἄποικοι αἱ ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ Ἐρυθραί.
And the colony of these Erythraeans is Erythrae in Ionia.
καὶ ὁ Ἑλεὼν δʼ ἐστὶ κώμη Ταναγρική, ἀπὸ τῶν ἑλῶν ὠνομασμένη.
And Heleon is also a Tanagraean village, named after the marshes.
