[5] τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν πόλεων τῶν μὲν ἄλλων οὐκ ἄξιον μεμνῆσθαι: ὧν δ᾽ Ὅμηρος μέμνηται Καλλίαρος μὲν οὐκέτι οἰκεῖται, εὐήροτον δὲ νῦν ἐστι πεδίον: καλοῦσι δ᾽ οὕτως ἀπὸ τοῦ συμβεβηκότος: καὶ Βῆσσα δ᾽ οὐκ ἔστι, δρυμώδης τις τόπος: οὐδ᾽ αἱ Αὐγειαί, τὴν δὲ χώραν ἔχουσι Σκαρφιεῖς: ταύτην μὲν οὖν τὴν Βῆσσαν ἐν τοῖς δυσὶ γραπτέον σίγμα （ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ δρυμώδους ὠνόμασται ὁμωνύμως, ὥσπερ καὶ Νάπη ἐν τῷ Μηθύμνης πεδίῳ, ἣν Ἑλλάνικος ἀγνοῶν ... Λάπην ὀνομάζει）, τὸν δ᾽ ἐν τῇ Ἀττικῇ δῆμον, ἀφ᾽ οὗ Βησαιεῖς οἱ δημόται λέγονται, ἐν τῷ ἑνὶ σίγμα.
