An Ionian town in Asia Minor, inhabited by a mixed population, sanctuary and image of Herakles at E, temple of Athena Polias at E, people of Parium, a colony from E, Erythraeans claim Herophile the Sibyl, set up statue at Olympia.

And, in my time, Heracleides the Herophileian physician, fellow, pupil of Apollonius Mys, was born there.
