KOLOPHON. ifty community of race with Athens, though the cekist may have been of heroic Athenian family. Guhl attempts to show, or. mis- taken grounds, that the Greek settlers at Ephesus were mostly of Arkadian origin. 1 Kolophon. about fifteen miles north of Ephesus, and divided from the territory of the latter by the precipitous mountain range called Gallesium, though a member of the Pan-Ionic amphik- tyony, seems to have had no Ionic origin : it recognized neither an Athenian cekist nor Athenian inhabitants. The Kolophonian poet Mininermus tells us that the cekist of the place was the Pylian Andrremon, and that the settlers were Pylians from Pelo- ponnesus. " We quitted (he says) Pylus, the city of Xeleus. and passed in our vessels to the much-desired Asia. There with the insolence of superior force, and employing from the beginning cruel violence, we planted ourselves in the tempting Ku-ophon."* This description of the primitive Kolophonian settlers, given with Homeric simplicity, forcibly illustrates the account given by He rodotus of the proceedings of Neileus at Miletus.
