[5] In the temple itself is dedicated a bronze ram of a galley. This ship they say that they captured off Salamis in a naval action with the Athenians. The Athenians too admit that for a time they evacuated the island before the Megarians, saying that afterwards Solon wrote elegiac poems and encouraged them, and that thereupon the Athenians challenged their enemies, won the war and recovered Salamis. But the Megarians say that exiles from themselves, whom they call Dorycleans, reached the colonists in Salamis and betrayed the island to the Athenians.

[5] ἐν δὲ αὐτῷ τῷ 0 ναῷ τριήρους ἀνάκειται χαλκοῦν ἔμβολον· ταύτην τὴν ναῦν λαβεῖν φασι περὶ Σαλαμῖνα ναυμαχήσαντες πρὸς Ἀθηναίους· ὁμολογοῦσι δὲ καὶ Ἀθηναῖοι χρόνον τινὰ Μεγαρεῦσιν ἀποστῆναι τῆς νήσου, Σόλωνα δὲ ὕστερόν φασιν ἐλεγεῖα ποιήσαντα προτρέψαι σφᾶς, καταστῆναι δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐς ἀμφισβήτησιν Ἀθηναῖοι, κρατήσαντες δὲ πολέμῳ Σαλαμῖνα αὖθις ἔχειν. Μεγαρεῖς δὲ παρὰ σφῶν λέγουσιν ἄνδρας φυγάδας, οὓς Δορυκλείους ὀνομάζουσιν, ἀφικομένους παρὰ τοὺς ἐν Σαλαμῖνι κληρούχους προδοῦναι Σαλαμῖνα Ἀθηναίοις.
