ἔπειτα Πελασγῶν τινες τῶν οἰκούντων ἐν τῇ καλουμένῃ νῦν Θετταλίᾳ τὴν ἑαυτῶν ἀναγκασθέντες [p. 27] ἐκλιπεῖν σύνοικοι γίνονται τοῖς Ἀβοριγῖσι καὶ κοινῇ μετ᾽ ἐκείνων ἐπολέμουν πρὸς τοὺς Σικελούς. ἐδέξαντο δὲ αὐτοὺς οἱ Ἀβοριγῖνες, ἴσως μὲν καὶ κατὰ τὴν τοῦ ὠφεληθήσεσθαι ἐλπίδα, ὡς δ᾽ ἐγὼ [2] πείθομαι κατὰ τὸ συγγενὲς μάλιστα. ἦν γὰρ δὴ καὶ τὸ τῶν Πελασγῶν γένος Ἑλληνικὸν ἐκ Πελοποννήσου τὸ ἀρχαῖον, ἐχρήσατο δὲ τύχαις δυσπότμοις εἰς πολλὰ μὲν καὶ ἄλλα, μάλιστα δ᾽ εἰς τὴν πολύπλανόν τε καὶ οὐδενὸς τόπου βέβαιον οἴκησιν, πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ περὶ τὸ καλούμενον νῦν Ἀχαϊκὸν Ἄργος ᾤκησαν αὐτόχθονες ὄντες, ὡς οἱ πολλοὶ περὶ αὐτῶν λέγουσι. τὴν δὲ ἐπωνυμίαν ἔλαβον ἐξ ἀρχῆς ταύτην ἐπὶ τοῦ [3] Πελασγοῦ βασιλέως. ἦν δὲ ὁ Πελασγὸς ἐκ Διὸς, ὡς λέγεται, καὶ Νιόβης τῆς Φορωνέως, ᾗ πρώτῃ γυναικὶ θνητῇ μίσγεται ὁ Ζεὺς ὡς ὁ μῦθος ἔχει. ἕκτῃ δ᾽ ὕστερον γενεᾷ Πελοπόννησον ἐκλιπόντες εἰς τὴν τότε μὲν Αἱμονίαν, νῦν δὲ Θετταλίαν ὀνομαζομένην μετανέστησαν: ἡγοῦντο δὲ τῆς ἀποικίας Ἀχαιὸς καὶ Φθῖος καὶ Πελασγὸς οἱ Λαρίσης καὶ Ποσειδῶνος υἱοί. ἀφικόμενοι δ᾽ εἰς τὴν Αἱμονίαν τούς τε κατοικοῦντας ἐν αὐτῇ βαρβάρους ἐξελαύνουσι καὶ νέμονται τὴν χώραν τριχῇ, τοῖς ἡγεμόσι ποιήσαντες ὁμωνύμους τὰς μοίρας, Φθιῶτιν καὶ Ἀχαΐαν καὶ Πελασγιῶτιν. πέντε δὲ μείναντες αὐτόθι γενεάς, ἐν αἷς ἐπὶ μήκιστον εὐτυχίας ἤλασαν τὰ κράτιστα τῶν ἐν τῇ Θετταλίᾳ πεδίων καρπούμενοι, περὶ τὴν ἕκτην γενεὰν [p. 28] ἐξελαύνονται Θετταλίας ὑπό τε Κουρήτων καὶ Λελέγων, οἳ νῦν Αἰτωλοὶ καὶ Λοκροὶ καλοῦνται, καὶ συχνῶν ἄλλων τῶν περὶ τὸν Παρνασὸν οἰκούντων, ἡγουμένου τῶν πολεμίων Δευκαλίωνος τοῦ Προμηθέως, μητρὸς δὲ Κλυμένης τῆς Ὠκεανοῦ.
