When the Ionians were gone the Achaeans divided their land among themselves and settled in their cities. These were twelve in number, at least such as were known to all the Greek world; Dyme , the nearest to Elis , after it Olenus , Pharae, Triteia , Rhypes, Aegium, Ceryneia, Bura , Helice also and Aegae , Aegeira and Pellene , the last city on the side of Sicyonia. In them, which had previously been inhabited by Ionians, settled the Achaeans and their princes.
