As for the crews of the disabled ships, the Carthaginians and Tyrrhenians drew lots for them, and of the Tyrrhenians the Agyllaioi [*](Later Caere [12.1,42] (Perseus)Caere in Etruria (region (general)), Italy, Europe Etruria. “And of the Tyrrhenians the Agyllaioi” supplemented by Stein.) were allotted by far the majority and these they led out and stoned to death. But afterwards, everything from Agylla that passed the place where the stoned Phocaeans lay, whether sheep or beasts of burden or men, became distorted and crippled and palsied.

The Agyllaeans sent to Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi, wanting to mend their offense; and the Pythian priestess told them to do what the people of Agylla do to this day: for they pay great honors to the Phocaeans, with religious rites and games and horse-races.

Such was the end of this part of the Phocaeans. Those of them who fled to Reggio di Calabria [15.65,38.1] (inhabited place), Reggio di Calabria, Calabria, Italy, Europe Rhegium set out from there and gained possession of that city in the Oenotrian [*](Oenotria corresponds to Southern Italy [12.833,42.833] (nation), Europe Italy (the Basilicata [16.166,40.5] (region), Italy, EuropeLucania and Calabria [16.5,39] (region), Italy, EuropeBruttium of Roman history.).) country which is now called Elea (deserted settlement), Salerno, Campania, Italy, EuropeHyele;[*](Later Elea [15.1833,40.1333] (Perseus)Elea (Velia [15.15,40.1667] (Perseus)Velia).)

they founded this because they learned from a man of Posidonia that the Cyrnus whose establishment the Pythian priestess ordained was the hero, and not the island.
