Book 8
73.1
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.
73.2
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.
73.3
The Cynurians are aboriginal and seem to be the only Ionians, but they have been Dorianized by time and by Argive rule. They are the Orneatae and the perioikoi. All the remaining cities of these seven nations, except those I enumerated, stayed neutral. If I may speak freely, by staying neutral they medized.
74.1
Those at the Isthmus were involved in so great a labor, since all they had was at stake and they did not expect the ships to win distinction. Those at Salamis (island), Attica, Central Greece and Euboea, Greece, EuropeSalamis heard of their labors but still were full of dread, fearing not for themselves but for the +Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese.
