[7] So said Kleon. About twenty-seven stadium-lengths distant from Panopeus is Daulis. The men there are few in number, but for size and strength, no men of Phokis are more renowned even to this day. They say that the name of the city is derived from Daulis, a nymph, the daughter of the Kephisos. Others say that the place, on which the city was built, was wooded, and that such shaggy places [ dasea] were called daula by the ancients. For this reason, they say, Aeschylus called the beard of Glaukos of Anthedon hypene daulos.
