ΕΧΕΔΑΜΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΦΩΚΙΣ
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).

ΦΩΚΙΣ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΕΛΛΑΔΑ
The Thessalians and their allies had invaded Phocis with their whole army but had been worsted and roughly handled by the Phocians. When the Phocians were besieged on Parnassus, they had with them the diviner Tellias of Elis; Tellias devised a stratagem for them: he covered six hundred of the bravest Phocians with gypsum, themselves and their armor, and led them to attack the Thessalians by night, bidding them slay whomever they should see not whitened. The Thessalian sentinels were the first to see these men and to flee for fear, supposing falsely that it was something supernatural, and after the sentinels the whole army fled as well. The Phocians made themselves masters of four thousand dead, and their shields, of which they dedicated half at Abae and the rest at Delphi. A tithe of what they won in that fight went to the making of the great statues that stand around the tripod in front of the shrine at Delphi, and there are others like them dedicated at Abae.
