[2] Before Salamis there is an island called Psyttalea. Here they say that about four hundred of the barbarians [= Persians] landed, and when the fleet of Xerxes was defeated, these also were killed after the Greeks [ Hellēnes] had crossed over to Psyttaleia. The island has no artistic statue [ agalma], only some roughly carved-wooden-statues [ xoana] of Pan.
