475 Yet Timæus ubi sup. places Chersicrates 600 years after the Trojan war, the date of which he fixed (according to Censorinus de Die Nat. 21.) 417 years before the first Olympiad; consequently the date which he gives to Chersicrates is Olymp. 46. 3. 594. B.C. in the time of the Cypselidæ. But since it is scarcely credible that Timæus could place the foundation of Corcyra so low down, it is probable that he fixed an earlier date for the Trojan war, according to Clinton F. H. vol. I. p. 135. ω. III. p. 490. Compare Mustoxidi Illustrazioni Corciresi, I. 5. p. 65. 476 Thucyd. I. 47. 477 Strab. VII. p. 326. Scymn. Ch. 620. 478 Scymn. Ch. 412. According to Raoul-Rochette, IV. p. 86. it was founded at the same time that Dionysius founded Lissus. _ 479 Orchomenos_, p. 297. 480 Thucyd. I. 13. 481 μάλιστα ὑπὸ ἀποίκων στεργόμεθα, the words of the Corinthians in Thucyd. I. 38. compare I. 26. Plutarch Timol. 3. 482 I. 56. See book III. ch. 8. § 5. 483 According to Eusebius. See Raoul-Rochette, III. p. 233. 484 According to Hesychius Milesius de Constant, p. 48. the founder’s name was Dineus. 485 The situation of Byzantium, in a political and commercial point of view, is well described by Polybius IV. 44. 486 Dionys. Byzant. de Thracio Bosporo in Hudson’s Geogr. Min. vol. III. sacrifices were offered to her on the first day of the year. Heyne Comment. Rec. Gotting. tom. I. p. 62. has treated of the fables of Io at Byzantium with sufficient fulness, but without tracing the origin of the traditions. 487 Ibid. 488 See, besides others, Palat. Anthol. VII. 169. Why does not Raoul-Rochette admit here as elsewhere, the supposition of an ancient colony under the guidance of Io, an Argive princess? 489 See Dionysius. There is something on this head also in Hesychius. Besides the names in the text, there are Athene Ecbasia—Artemis Dictynna (also _Lucifera in piscinis_), Ajax Telamonius, and Achilles—Rhea—Hecate and Fortune—The Dioscuri—Amphiaraus ἐν συκαῖς, Aphrodite the preserver of peace, and Aphrodite Πάνδημος. 490 With whom there were at times dissensions. See Aristot. Pol. V. 2. 10. 491 See, besides the decrees in Demosthenes, Constantin. Porph. Them. I. p. 1452. in Meursii Opp. 492 Μεταμβριανων and Μεσαμβριανων on coins. 493 According to Scymnus Chius, v. 714. 494 Plut. Qu. Gr. 57. _Æginetica_, p. 67. It is probable that Perinthus also at that time received a party of Doric colonists, as it is called an allied town by the Byzantians (Demosth. de Corona, p. 255), and the worship of Hercules was prevalent there. Compare Panofka Res Samiorum, p. 22, where, however, several passages are incorrectly applied.
