Hdt. 1.149 The Histories, Herodotus; served verbatim
Those are the Ionian cities, and these are the Aeolian: Cyme (called “Phriconian”), Lerisae, Neon Teichos, Temnos, Cilla, Notion , Aegiroessa, Pitane , Aegaeae, Myrina , Gryneia. These are the ancient Aeolian cities, eleven in number; but one of them, Smyrna , was taken away by the Ionians; for these too were once twelve, on the mainland. These Aeolians had settled where the land was better than the Ionian territory, but the climate was not so good.

The Greek stands ready in the workroom; the English is served. Both faces will read together.
