The sites of Erythrae and Hysiae are still matters of controversy. Munro (l. c.) again follows Leake in placing Hysiae close under Mount Cithaeron, just to the right of the main road from Athens and Eleutherae to Thebes, and Erythrae at Katsula about two miles east of his site for Hysiae. Grundy (pp. 458-60 and 464) would put Hysiae just above Kriekouki and Erythrae above the road from Eleutherae to Thebes. The two towns would thus be within a mile of each other.

H. probably only means that the Persians occupied the valley over against Erythrae and Hysiae, as we find the Greeks in possession of Erythrae a little later (ch. 19. 3).
