[7] Above Nonacris are the Aroanian Mountains, in which is a cave. To this cave, it is said, the daughters of Proitos fled when struck with madness; Melampos by secret sacrifices and purifications brought them down to a place called Lusi. Most of the Aroanian mountain belongs to Pheneus, but Lusi is on the borders of Kleitor.
