Pausanias Description of Greece 2.12.3

[3] Phliasia borders on Sicyonia. The city is just about forty stades distant from Titane , and there is a straight road to it from Sicyon . That the Phliasians are in no way related to the Arcadians is shown by the passage in Homer that deals with the list of the Arcadians, in which the Sicyonians are not included among the Arcadian confederates. As my narrative progresses it will become clear that they were Argive originally, and became Dorian later after the return of the Heracleidae to the Peloponnesus . I know that most of the traditions concerning the Phliasians are contradictory, but I shall make use of those which have been most generally accepted.
