Histories

“Men of Paeonia, I have been sent by Aristagoras, tyrant of Miletus [27.3,37.5] (Perseus) Miletus, to show you the way to deliverance, if you are disposed to obey. All Ionia (region (general)), Europe Ionia is now in revolt against the king, and it is possible for you to win your own way back safely to your own land, but afterwards we will take care of you.”

The Paeonians were very glad when they heard that, and although some of them remained where they were for fear of danger, the rest took their children and women and fled to the sea. After arriving there, the Paeonians crossed over to +Khios [26.116,38.383] (inhabited place), Chios, Khios, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Chios.
