[22] τὰ μὲν οὖν ἔθη σωφρονικὰ τὰ πλείω, διὰ δὲ τὸν πλοῦτον εἰς τρυφὴν ἐξέπεσον οἱ βασιλεῖς, ὥστε πυρὸν μὲν ἐξ Ἄσσου τῆς Αἰολίδος μετῄεσαν, οἶνον δ᾽ ἐκ Συρίας τὸν Χαλυβώνιον, ὕδωρ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ Εὐλαίου πάντων ἐλαφρότατον ὥστ᾽ ἐν Ἀττικῇ κοτύλῃ δραχμῇ ἀφολκότερον εἶναι.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
