[3] The people of Lipara too dedicated statues to commemorate a naval victory over the Etruscans. These people were colonists from Knidos, and the leader of the colony is said to have been a man from Knidos, whose name was Pentathlus according to a statement made by the Syracusan Antiokhos, son of Xenophanes, in his history of Sicily. He says also that they built a city on Cape Pachynum in Sicily but were hard pressed in a war with the Elymi and Phoenicians and driven out, but occupied the islands, from which they expelled the inhabitants if they were not still uninhabited, still called, as they are called by Homer, the Islands of Aeolus.
