I myself have seen these mines; by far the most marvellous were those that were found by the Phoenicians who with +Thasos [24.716,40.783] (deserted settlement), Thasos, Kavalla, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Thasos colonized this island, which is now called after that Phoenician Thasos.

These Phoenician mines are between the place called Aenyra and Coenyra in +Thasos [24.716,40.783] (deserted settlement), Thasos, Kavalla, Macedonia, Greece, Europe Thasos, opposite +Samothrace (island), Nomos Evrou, Western Thrace, Greece, Europe Samothrace; they are in a great hill that has been dug up in the searching. So much for that. The Thasians at the king's command destroyed their walls and brought all their ships to +Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera.
