Histories

Now at this time, as before it, the Aeginetans were in all matters still subject to the Epidaurians and even crossed to Epidauros [23.0917,37.6] (Perseus)Epidaurus for the hearing of their own private lawsuits. From this time, however, they began to build ships, and stubbornly revolted from the Epidaurians.

In the course of this struggle, they did the Epidaurians much damage and stole their images of Damia and Auxesia. These they took away and set them up in the middle of their own country at a place called Oea, about twenty furlongs distant from their city.
