The Teians did the same things as the Phocaeans: when Harpagus had taken their walled city by building an earthwork, they all embarked aboard ship and sailed away for Thrace (region (general)), Europe Thrace . There they founded a city, Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera , which before this had been founded by Timesius of Klazomenai [26.7833,38.3167] (Perseus) Clazomenae ; yet he got no profit of it, but was driven out by the Thracians. This Timesius is now honored as a hero by the Teians of Abdera [24.9667,40.9833] (Perseus) Abdera .
