the priestess declared that they would fare better if they helped Battus plant a colony at Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene in Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya. Then the Theraeans sent Battus with two fifty-oared ships; these sailed to Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya, but, not knowing what else to do, presently returned to +Thera [25.433,36.4] (island), Cyclades, Aegean Islands, Greece, Europe Thera.

This island is said to be as big as the city of Shahhat [21.866,32.833] (inhabited place), Al Jabal al Akhdar, Libya, AfricaCyrene is now.

Here they lived for two years; but as everything went wrong, the rest sailed to Delphi [22.5167,38.4917] (Perseus) Delphi leaving one behind, and on their arrival questioned the oracle, and said that they were living in Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya, but that they were no better off for that.
