One of the remaining sides, that stretching from Pachynus to Lilybæum, is entirely deserted; still it preserves a few traces of the ancient inhabitants, one of whose cities was Camarina.¹ Acragas,² which was a colony of the Geloi,³ together with its port and Lilybæum,⁴ still exist. In fact, these regions, lying opposite to Carthage, have been wasted by the great and protracted wars which have been waged. The remaining and greatest side, although it is by no means densely peopled, is well occupied, for Alæsa,⁵ Tyndaris,⁶ the emporium⁷ of the Ægestani and Cephalœdium,⁸ are respectable towns. Panormus has received a Roman colony: they say that Ægesta⁹ was founded by the Greeks who passed over, as we have related when speaking of Italy, with Philoctetes to the Crotoniatis, and were by him sent to Sicily with Ægestus¹⁰ the Trojan.
