(2) Ἡ γὰρ Ἑλλὰς τὸ παλαιὸν οὖσά ποτε πόλις ἀφʼ Ἕλληνος τοῦ Αἰόλου ἐκλήθη τε καὶ ἐκτίσθη, τῆς τῶν Θετταλῶν οὖσα χώρας, ἀναμέσον Φαρσάλου τε κειμένη καὶ τῆς τῶν Μελιταιέων πόλεως. Ἕλληνες μὲν γάρ εἰσι τῷ γένει, δὲ οἱ τὴν Ἀττικήν κατοικοῦντες Ἀττικοὶ μέν εἰσι τῷ γένει, ταῖς δὲ διαλέκτοις ἀττικίζουσιν, ὥσπερ Δωριεῖς μὲν οἱ ἀπὸ Δώρου τῇ φωνῇ δωρίζουσιν· αἰολίζουσι δὲ οἱ ἀπὸ Αἰόλου, ἰάζουσι δὲ οἱ ἀπὸ Ἴωνος τοῦ Ξούθου φύντες.
