And when they (the Athenians at Corcyra) had all been assembled, they sailed
across the Ionian Strait (the Otranto Channel) and came to land on the tip of Iapygia, from
where they skirted along the coast of Italy. They were not received by the Tarantini, and
they also sailed on past the Metapontines and Heracleians; but when they put in at Thurii
they were accorded every kind of courtesy. From there they sailed on to Croton, from
whose inhabitants they got a market, and then they sailed on past the temple of Hera
Lacinia and doubled the promontory known as Dioscurias. After this they passed by
Skylletium, as it is called, and Locri, and dropping anchor near Rhegium they endeavored
to persuade the Rhegians to become their allies; but the Rhegians replied that they would
consult with the other Greeks of Italy. (C. H. Oldfather).
