In the tenth year after the seizure of the sanctuary, Philip put an end to the war, which was called both the Phocian War and the Sacred War, in the year when Theophilus was archon at Athens, which was the first of the hundred and eighth Olympiad at which Polycles of Cyrene was victorious in the foot-race. The cities of Phocis were captured and razed to the ground. The tale of them was Lilaea, Hyampolis, Anticyra, Parapotamii, Panopeus and Daulis. These cities were distinguished in days of old, especially because of the poetry of Homer.
The army of Xerxes, burning down certain of these, made them better known in Greece,
namely Erochus, Charadra, Amphicleia, Neon, Tithronium and Drymaea. The rest of
the Phocian cities, except Elateia, were not famous in former times, I mean Phocian
Trachis, Phocian Medeon, Echedameia, Ambrossus, Ledon, Phlygonium and Stiris.
On the occasion to which I have referred all the cities enumerated were razed
to the ground and their people scattered in villages (Paus. 10,3,1-2).

Ο Οτίλιος, τον οποίο είχαν στείλει οι Ρωμαίοι επικεφαλής του στρατού που θα βοηθούσε τους Αθηναίους και τους Αιτωλούς στον πόλεμό τους κατά του Φιλίππου της Μακεδονίας, δεν ακολούθησε καθ' όλα τις οδηγίες που του είχαν δοθεί και κατέστρεψε την Ιστιαία και την Αντίκυρα (Παυσ. 7,7,9).
