οὗτος μὲν δὴ ταῦτα ἔλεγεν, Πανοπέως δὲ ὅσον στάδια εἴκοσι καὶ ἑπτὰ ἀπέχει Δαυλίς. οἱ δὲ ἐνταῦθα ἄνθρωποι πλῆθος μέν εἰσιν οὐ πολλοί, μεγέθει δὲ καὶ ἀλκῇ καὶ ἐς ἐμὲ ἔτι δοκιμώτατοι Φωκέων. τὸ δὲ ὄνομα τῇ πόλει τεθῆναι λέγουσιν ἀπὸ Δαυλίδος νύμφης, θυγατέρα δὲ εἶναι τοῦ Κηφισοῦ τὴν Δαυλίδα. τοῖς δέ ἐστιν εἰρημένον ὡς τὸ χωρίον, ἔνθα ἡ πόλις ᾠκίσθη, παρείχετο συνεχῆ δένδρα, καλεῖσθαι δὲ τὰ δασέα ὑπὸ τῶν πάλαι δαῦλα· ἐπὶ τούτῳ δὲ καὶ Αἰσχύλον τὰ Γλαύκου τοῦ Ἀνθηδονίου γένεια ὑπήνην ὠνομακέναι δαῦλον.

So said Cleon. About twenty-seven stades distant from Panopeus is Daulis . The men there are few in number, but for size and strength no Phocians 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 Cephisus. 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 Glaucus of Anthedon hypene daulos.
