Histories

The islanders provided seventeen ships and were armed like Greeks; they were also of Pelasgian stock, which was later called Ionian for the same reason as were the Ionians of the twelve cities,[*](For the twelve cities, see Hdt. 1.142.) who came from Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens. The Aeolians furnished sixty ships and were equipped like Greeks; formerly they were called Pelasgian, as the Greek story goes.
