Histories

From the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese came Leocedes, son of Phidon the tyrant of Argos [22.7333,37.6417] (Perseus) Argos, that Phidon who made weights and measures for the Peloponnesians [*](P. introduced the “Aeginetan” system of weights and measures. For the chronological difficulty connected with this mention of him, see the commentators.) and acted more arrogantly than any other Greek; he drove out the Elean contest-directors and held the contests at Olympia [21.6333,37.65] (Perseus)Olympia himself. This man's son now came, and Amiantus, an Arcadian from +Trapezus [39.7167,41] (Perseus) Trapezus, son of Lycurgus; and an Azenian from the town of Paeus, Laphanes, son of that Euphorion who, as the Arcadian tale relates, gave lodging to the Dioscuri, and ever since kept open house for all men; and Onomastus from +Elis [21.4,37.8833] (Perseus) Elis, son of Agaeus.

These came from the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese itself; from Athens Megacles, son of that Alcmeon who visited Croesus, and also Hippocleides son of Tisandrus, who surpassed the Athenians in wealth and looks. From +Eretria [23.8083,38.3917] (Perseus) Eretria, which at that time was prosperous, came Lysanias; he was the only man from +Euboea [23.833,38.566] (island), Nomos Evvoias, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, Europe Euboea. From +Thessaly [22.25,39.5] (region), Greece, Europe Thessaly came a Scopad, Diactorides of Crannon; and from the Molossians, Alcon.
