These then are the Aeolian cities on the mainland, besides those that are situated on Ida and are separate. Among those on the islands, five divide Lesbos among them (there was a sixth on Lesbos , Arisba, but its people were enslaved by their kinfolk of Methymna ); there is one on Tenedos , and one again in the “Hundred Isles,” as they are called. The men of Lesbos and Tenedos , then, like the Ionian islanders, had nothing to fear. The rest of the cities deliberated together and decided to follow the Ionians' lead.

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