The Phokian Contingent (2.517-26)

αὐτὰρ Φωκήων Σχεδίος καὶ Ἐπίστροφος ἦρχον
υἷες Ἰφίτου μεγαθύμου Ναυβολίδαο,
οἳ Κυπάρισσον ἔχον Πυθῶνά τε πετρήεσσαν
Κρῖσάν τε ζαθέην καὶ Δαυλίδα καὶ Πανοπῆα, [520]
οἵ τ' Ἀνεμώρειαν καὶ Ὑάμπολιν ἀμφενέμοντο,
οἵ τ' ἄρα πὰρ ποταμὸν Κηφισὸν δῖον ἔναιον,
οἵ τε Λίλαιαν ἔχον πηγῇς ἔπι Κηφισοῖο:
τοῖς δ' ἅμα τεσσαράκοντα μέλαιναι νῆες ἕποντο.
οἳ μὲν Φωκήων στίχας ἵστασαν ἀμφιέποντες, [525]
Βοιωτῶν δ' ἔμπλην ἐπ' ἀριστερὰ θωρήσσοντο.

Translation
Of the Phokian men, the leaders were
Skhedios and Epistrophos—the sons
of fiery Iphitos, son of Naubolos.
The Phokians held Kuparissos and rocky Puthon,
sacred Krisa and Daulis and Panopeos;
they lived near Anemoreia and Huampolis,
and dwelt along the banks of the divine Kephisos,
and held Lilaia at the river’s headwaters.
With these men, there followed forty ships.
The leaders ranged the ranks hard by
the Boiotian men, along the left,
and there they armed themselves.
