οἱ Βρέττιοι ἑκόντες ὑποταγέντες Ῥωμαίοις τὴν ἡμίσειαν τῆς ὀρεινῆς παρέδωκαν αὐτοῖς, ἣ καλεῖται μὲν Σίλα, μεστὴ δ᾽ ἐστὶν ὕλης εἰς οἰκοδομάς τε καὶ ναυπηγίας καὶ πᾶσαν ἄλλην κατασκευὴν εὐθέτου: πολλὴ μὲν γὰρ ἐλάτη πέφυκεν οὐρανομήκης ἐν αὐτῇ, πολλὴ δὲ αἴγειρος, πολλὴ δὲ πίειρα πεύκη ὀξύη τε καὶ πίτυς καὶ φηγὸς ἀμφιλαφὴς καὶ μελίαι ταῖς διαρρεούσαις λιβάσι πιαινόμεναι, καὶ πᾶσα ἄλλη βαθεῖα συνυφαινομένη τοῖς κλάδοις ὕλη σκιερὸν ἀποτελοῦσα δἰ ὅλης ἡμέρας τὸ ὄρος.
