“But when, after diligent search, they could not find Europa, they gave up the thought of returning home, and took up their abode in divers places ; Phoenix settled in Phoenicia; Cilix settled near Phoenicia, and all the country subject to him- self near the river Pyramus he called Cilicia; and Cadmus and Telephassa took up their abode in Thrace and in like manner Thasus founded a city Thasus in an island off Thrace and dwelt there.””
