Ἑλλησπόντιοι: in the wide sense (cf. iv. 38. 2 n.; v. 1. 1); apparently ἐκ τοῦ Πόντου (inf.) includes only the same regions, viz. Bosporus, Propontis, and Hellespont. The Ionic (Milesian) colonies were Abydos, Lampsacus, Paesus, Priapus, Cyzicus, Artace, Proconnesus, Perinthus; the Doric (Megarian) Selymbria, Byzantium, Chalcedon. The Aeolic (Sestos, cf. ix. 115 ad fin., and Madytus) are not mentioned probably because they are included in the Aeolians (§ 1).
