[4] When the war had started in this way, it came to pass that the disagreement between Arcadians and Eleians widened in scope, for immediately the Arcadians, elated by their success, invaded Elis and took the cities of Margana and Cronion,1 and Cyparissia and Coryphasium.2

1 Margana was a town in Pisatis their claims to which the Eleians renounced to Sparta in a treaty in 400 (Xen. Hell. 3.2.30). Cronium appears to refer to the Hill of Cronos by the Alpheius in Pisatis.

2 Of these Strabo says (Strabo 8.4.1) "Messene comes after Triphylia; and there is a cape which is common to both; and after this cape come Cyparissa and Coryphasium" (L.C.L., translated by H. L. Jones).
