[6] ἀλλὰ τό γε ἆθλον προκεῖσθαι κοινὸν τὴν ἀρετὴν τῆς χώρας ἧς λέγω τοῖς ἰσχύουσιν ἐκ πολλῶν βεβαιοῦται καὶ πρὸ τῶν Τρωικῶν καὶ μετὰ τὰ Τρωικά: ὅπου καὶ Ἀμαζόνες κατεθάρρησαν αὐτῆς, ἐφ᾽ ἃς ὅ τε Πρίαμος στρατεῦσαι λέγεται καὶ ὁ Βελλεροφόντης: πόλεις τε παλαιαὶ ὁμολογοῦνται ἐπώνυμοι αὐτῶν: ἐν δὲ τῷ Ἰλιακῷ πεδίῳ κολώνη τις ἔστιν“ ἣν ἤτοι ἄνδρες Βατίειαν κικλήσκουσιν,
ἀθάνατοι δέ τε σῆμα πολυσκάρθμοιο Μυρίνης,
”1 ἣν ἱστοροῦσι μίαν εἶναι τῶν Ἀμαζόνων ἐκ τοῦ ἐπιθέτου τεκμαιρόμενοι: εὐσκάρθμους γὰρ ἵππους λέγεσθαι διὰ τὸ τάχος: κἀκείνην οὖν πολύσκαρθμον διὰ τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡνιοχείας τάχος: καὶ ἡ Μύρινα οὖν ἐπώνυμος ταύτης λέγεται. καὶ αἱ ἐγγὺς δὲ νῆσοι ταῦτ᾽ ἔπαθον διὰ τὴν ἀρετήν, ὧν Ῥόδος καὶ Κῶς ὅτι πρὸ τῶν Τρωικῶν ἤδη ὑφ᾽ Ἑλλήνων ᾠκοῦντο καὶ ὑφ᾽ Ὁμήρου σαφῶς ἐκμαρτυρεῖται.
