Ὅτι ἡ νῦν Λευκὰς πόλις χερρόνησος ἦν πρὶν, ὑπὸ δὲ Κορινθίων ἐτμήθη· καλεῖ δʼ αὐτὴν Ὅμηρος « ἀκτὴν ἠπείροιο, » τῆς Ἀκαρνανίας δηλονότι, ἧς μέρος τὸ Νήριτον, ὅπερ Λαέρτης ἑλεῖν λέγει· Ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ Κροκύλεια καὶ ἡ Αἰγίλιψ πόλις ἐν Καταλόγῳ τῆς Λευκάδος εἰσὶ πλησίον· ὡς τὴν νῆσον ὅλην ἔχειν πόλεις τρεῖς, Λευκάδα μὲν ἐν τῷ χειροποιήτῳ πορθμῷ, τὴν πρὶν Νήριτον, καὶ Κροκύλεια καὶ Αἰγίλιπα.
