Histories

The Byzantines and the Calchedonians beyond them did not even wait for the attack of the Phoenicians, but left their own land and fled away into the Black Sea [38,42] (sea) Euxine, and there settled in the city of Mesambria. The Phoenicians burnt the aforementioned places and turned against Marmara Adasi [27.616,40.633] (island), Balikesir, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Proconnesus and Artace; after giving these also to the flames they sailed back to the Gelibolu Yarimadasi (peninsula), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, AsiaChersonese to finish off the remaining cities, as many as they had not destroyed at their former landing.
