[4] Sailing from here you come to Tipha, a small town by the sea. The townsfolk have a sanctuary of Hēraklēs and hold an annual festival. They claim to have been from of old the best sailors in Boeotia, and remind you that Tiphys, who was chosen to steer the Argo, was a fellow-townsman. They point out also the place before the city where they say Argo anchored on her return from Kolkhis.
