Herodotus. Godley, Alfred Denis, translator. Cambridge, MA; London: Harvard University Press; William Heinemann, Ltd., 1920-1925 (printing).

Seven nations inhabit the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese. Two of these are aboriginal and are now settled in the land where they lived in the old days, the Arcadians and Cynurians. One nation, the Achaean, has never left the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese, but it has left its own country and inhabits another nation's land.

The four remaining nations of the seven are immigrants, the Dorians and Aetolians and Dryopians and Lemnians. The Dorians have many famous cities, the Aetolians only +Elis [21.4,37.8833] (Perseus) Elis, the Dryopians Hermione and +Asine [22.8833,37.525] (Perseus) Asine near Laconian Cardamyle, the Lemnians all the Paroreatae.
