Ὅτι Τυρρηνοὶ καλοῦνται ἀπὸ Τυρρηνοῦ τοῦ Ἄτυος στείλαντος ἐκ Λυδίας ἀποίκους εἰς τὴν χώραν ταύτην. Λιμῷ γὰρ ἡ Μηονία ἐπιέζετο· καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Ἄτυς βασιλεύων ἐκεῖ, Ἡρακλείδης ὢν ἀπὸ Ὀμφάλης, ἠναγκάσθη τὸν μὲν ἕτερον τῶν παίδων, Λυδὸν καλούμενον, αὐτοῦ κατασχεῖν, ἐξ οὗ καὶ ἡ χώρα Λυδία τὸν δ᾿ ἕτερον, Τυρρηνὸν, στεῖλαι μετὰ τοῦ πλείστου λαοῦ, ὃς ἐλθὼν ᾤκησε τὴν ἐξ αὐτοῦ Τυρρηνίαν.
