[6] Ὀυαρδαίους δ᾽ οἱ ὕστερον ἐκάλεσαν τοὺς Ἀρδιαίους: ἀπέωσαν δ᾽ αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν μεσόγαιαν ἀπὸ τῆς θαλάττης Ῥωμαῖοι, λυμαινομένους αὐτὴν διὰ τῶν λῃστηρίων, καὶ ἠνάγκασαν γεωργεῖν. τραχεῖα δὲ χώρα καὶ λυπρὰ καὶ οὐ γεωργῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὥστ᾽ ἐξέφθαρται τελέως τὸ ἔθνος, μικροῦ δὲ καὶ ἐκλέλοιπε. τοῦτο δὲ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις ἔθνεσι τοῖς ταύτῃ συνέβη: οἱ γὰρ πλεῖστον δυνάμενοι πρότερον τελέως ἐταπεινώθησαν καὶ ἐξέλιπον, Γαλατῶν μὲν Βοῖοι καὶ Σκορδίσται, [p. 434] Ἰλλυριῶν δὲ Αὐταριᾶται καὶ Ἀρδιαῖοι καὶ Δαρδάνιοι, Θρᾳκῶν δὲ Τριβαλλοί, ὑπ᾽ ἀλλήλων μὲν ἐξ ἀρχῆς, ὕστερον δ᾽ ὑπὸ Μακεδόνων καὶ Ῥωμαίων ἐκπολεμούμενοι.
