As for the Ionians, the reason why they made twelve cities and would admit no more was in my judgment this: there were twelve divisions of them when they dwelt in the Peloponnese [22,37.5] (region), Greece, Europe Peloponnese , just as there are twelve divisions of the Achaeans who drove the Ionians out—Pellene [22.5583,38.05] (Perseus) Pellene nearest to Sikyon [22.725,37.9833] (Perseus) Sicyon ; then Aegira [22.3833,38.1333] (Perseus) Aegira and Aegae [22.05,40.8] (Perseus) Aegae , where is the never-failing river Crathis, from which the river in Italy [12.833,42.833] (nation), Europe Italy took its name; Bura [22.2167,38.15] (Perseus) Bura and Helike [22.1167,38.2167] (Perseus) Helice , where the Ionians fled when they were worsted in battle by the Achaeans; Aegion; Rhype; Patrai [21.75,38.2333] (Perseus) Patrae ; Phareae; and Olenus [21.55,38.15] (Perseus) Olenus , where is the great river Pirus; Dyme [21.5833,38.1] (Perseus) Dyme and Tritaeae, the only inland city of all these—these were the twelve divisions of the Ionians, as they are now of the Achaeans.
