Book 12
3.23
But Demetrius does not altogether agree with those whose opinions he espouses. For when he is describing the neighbourhood of Scepsis his own birth-place, he mentions Enea, a village, Argyria, and Alazonia, as near Scepsis, and the Aesepus;In Kiepert’s map it is without a name. Leake calls it Boklu. It falls into the sea to the west of Cyzicus. but if these places exist at all, they must be near the sources of the Aesepus. Hecataeus places them beyond the mouths of that river. Palsaephatus, who says that the Amazons formerly occupied Alope, and at present Zeleia, does not advance anything in agreement with these statements. But if Menecrates agrees with Demetrius, neither does Menecrates say what this Alope, or Alobe, is, (or, in whatever manner they please to write the name,) nor yet does Demetrius himself.
