νῦν μὲν δὴ πᾶσαν Ἠλείαν ὀνομάζουσι τὴν μεταξὺ [p. 479] Ἀχαιῶν τε καὶ Μεσσηνίων παραλίαν, ἀνέχουσαν εἰς τὴν μεσόγαιαν τὴν πρὸς Ἀρκαδίᾳ τῇ κατὰ Φολόην καὶ Ἀζᾶνας καὶ Παρρασίους. τοῦτο δὲ τὸ παλαιὸν εἰς πλείους δυναστείας διῄρητο, εἶτ᾽ εἰς δύο, τήν τε τῶν Ἐπειῶν καὶ τὴν ὑπὸ Νέστορι τῷ Νηλέως: καθάπερ καὶ Ὅμηρος εἴρηκε, τὴν μὲν τῶν Ἐπειῶν ὀνομάζων Ἦλιν “ ἠδὲ παρ᾽ Ἤλιδα δῖαν, ὅθι κρατέουσιν Ἐπειοί,
”1 τὴν δ᾽ ὑπὸ τῷ Νέστορι Πύλον, δι᾽ ἧς τὸν Ἀλφειὸν ῥεῖν φησιν, “ Ἀλφειοῦ, ὅς τ᾽ εὐρὺ ῥέει Πυλίων διὰ γαίης.
”2 Πύλον μὲν οὖν καὶ πόλιν οἶδεν ὁ ποιητής “ οἱ δὲ Πύλον, Νηλῆος ἐυκτίμενον πτολίεθρον,
ἷξον.
”3 οὐ διὰ τῆς πόλεως δὲ οὐδὲ παρ᾽ αὐτὴν ῥεῖ ὁ Ἀλφειός, ἀλλὰ παρ᾽ αὐτὴν μὲν ἕτερος, ὃν οἱ μὲν Παμισὸν οἱ δὲ Ἄμαθον καλοῦσιν, ἀφ᾽ οὗ καὶ ὁ Πύλος Ἠμαθόεις εἰρῆσθαι οὗτος δοκεῖ, διὰ δὲ τῆς χώρας τῆς Πυλίας ὁ Ἀλφειός.
