Histories

This Megabazus is forever remembered by the people of the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont for replying,

when he was told at +Byzantium [28.95,41.0333] (Perseus) Byzantium that the people of Calchedon had founded their town seventeen years before the Byzantines had founded theirs, that the Calchedonians must at that time have been blind, for had they not been, they would never have chosen the worse site for their city when they might have had the better.

This Megabazus, left now as commander in the country, subjugated all the people of the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont who did not take the side of the Persians.
