Those are the Ionian cities, and these are the Aeolian: Cyme (called “Phriconian”),1 Lerisae, Neon Teichos, Temnos, Cilla, Notion, Aegiroessa, Pitane, Aegaeae, Myrina, Gryneia.2 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.

1 Perhaps so called from a mountain in Aeolis, Phricion, near which the Aeolians had been settled before their migration to Asia.

2 These places lie between Smyrna and Pergamum, on or near the coast. But Aegiroessa has not been exactly identified.
