[12] μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἐκβολὰς τοῦ Μαιάνδρου ὁ κατὰ Πριήνην ἐστὶν αἰγιαλός· ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ δʼ ἡ Πριήνη καὶ Μυκάλη τὸ ὄρος εὔθηρον καὶ εὔδενδρον. ἐπίκειται δὲ τῇ Σαμίᾳ καὶ ποιεῖ πρὸς αὐτὴν ἐπέκεινα τῆς Τρωγιλίου καλουμένης ἄκρας ὅσον ἑπταστάδιον πορθμόν. λέγεται δʼ ὑπό τινων ἡ Πριήνη Κάδμη, ἐπειδὴ Φιλωτᾶς ὁ ἐπικτίσας αὐτὴν Βοιώτιος ὑπῆρχεν· ἐκ Πριήνης δʼ ἦν Βίας εἷς τῶν ἑπτὰ σοφῶν, περὶ οὗ φησιν οὕτως Ἱππῶναξ

καὶ δικάσσασθαι Βίαντος τοῦ Πριηνέως κρέσσον.

[12] After the outlets of the Maeander comes the shore of Priene, above which lies Priene, and also the mountain Mycale, which is well supplied with wild animals and with trees. This mountain lies above the Samian territory¹ and forms with it, on the far side of the promontory called Trogilian, a strait about seven stadia in width. Priene is by some writers called Cadme, since Philotas, who founded it, was a Boeotian. Bias, one of the Seven Wise Men, was a native of Priene, of whom Hipponax says

stronger in the pleading of his cases than Bias of Priene.

[12] After the mouths of the Maeander follows the shore of Priene. Above it is Priene,¹ and the mountain Mycale.² which abounds with animals of the chace, and is covered with forests. It is situated above the Samian territory, and forms towards it, beyond the promontory Trogilium,³ a strait of above 7 stadia in width. Priene is called by some writers Cadme, because Philotus, its second founder, was a Boeotian. Bias, one of the seven wise men, was a native of Priene, of whom Hipponax uses this expression;

More just in pleadings than Bias of Priene.
