      Achaia, at the period of the first rise of the Achaean league. Alarmed at the rapid progress
      of the confederacy --the four cities of Dyme, Patrae, Tritaea, and Pharae, which formed the
      original league, having been already joined by Aegium and Bura--he judged it prudent to
      provide for his personal safety by voluntarily abdicating the sovereign power, whereupon
      Ceryneia immediately joined the Achaeans. (<bibl n="Plb. 2.41">Plb. 2.41</bibl>.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.H.B">E.H.B</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
