[2] The army of Xerxes, burning down certain of these, made them better known in Greece, namely Erochus, Kharadra, Amphicleia, Neon, Tithronium, and Drymaia. The rest of the cities of Phokis, except Elateia, were not famous in former times, I mean Trakhis-in-Phokis, Medeon-in-Phokis, Ekhedameia, Ambrossos, Ledon, Phlygonion, and Stiris. On the occasion to which I have referred, all the cities enumerated were razed to the ground and their people scattered in villages. The one exception to this treatment was Abai, whose citizens were free from impiety, and had no share in the seizure of the sanctuary or in the war.
