Τυρρηνίας μὲν γὰρ δὴ ὄνομα τὸν χρόνον ἐκεῖνον ἀνὰ τὴν Ἑλλάδα ἦν, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ προσεσπέριος Ἰταλία τὰς κατὰ τὸ ἔθνος ὀνομασίας ἀφαιρεθεῖσα τὴν ἐπίκλησιν ἐκείνην ἐλάμβανεν, ὥσπερ καὶ τῆς Ἑλλάδος ἄλλῃ τε πολλαχῇ καὶ περὶ τὴν καλουμένην νῦν Πελοπόννησον ἐγένετο· ἐπὶ γὰρ ἑνὸς τῶν οἰκούντων ἐν αὐτῇ ἐθνῶν, τοῦ Ἀχαϊκοῦ, καὶ ἡ σύμπασα χερρόνησος, ἐν ᾗ καὶ τὸ Ἀρκαδικὸν καὶ τὸ Ἰωνικὸν καὶ ἄλλα συχνὰ ἔθην ἔνεστιν, Ἀχαΐα ὠνομάσθη.
