Histories

There is further proof of this, for it is known that when Xerxes came to +Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera in his return, he made a compact of friendship with its people and gave them a golden sword and a gilt tiara. As the people of +Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera say (but for my part I wholly disbelieve them), it was here that Xerxes in his flight back from Athens [23.7333,37.9667] (Perseus)Athens first loosed his girdle, as being here in safety. Now +Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera lies nearer to the Canakkale Bogazi (strait), Canakkale, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Hellespont than the Strymon and +Eion [23.8833,40.7333] (Perseus) Eion, where they say that he took ship.

As for the Greeks, not being able to take +Andros [24.9,37.816] (inhabited place), Nisos Andros, Cyclades, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Andros, they went to Carystus. When they had laid it waste, they returned to Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis. First of all they set apart for the gods, among other first-fruits, three Phoenician triremes, one to be dedicated at the Isthmus, where it was till my lifetime, the second at Sunium, and the third for Ajax at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis where they were.
