οἶδα δὲ καὶ Ἑλλάνικον ἐν Ἐθνῶν Ὀνομασίαις λέγοντα ὅτι Λιβύων τῶν Νομάδων τινὲς οὐδὲν ἄλλο κέκτηνται ἢ κύλικα καὶ μάχαιραν καὶ ὑδρίαν, καὶ ὅτι οἰκίας ἔχουσιν ἐξ ἀνθερίκου πεποιημένας μικρὰς ὅσον σκιᾶς ἕνεκα, ἃς καὶ περιφέρουσιν ὅπου ἂν πορεύωνται, πολλοῖς δὲ καὶ ὁ ἐν Ἰλλυριοῖς τόπος διαβόητός ἐστιν ὁ καλούμενος Κύλικες, παρ᾽ ᾧ ἐστι τὸ Κάδμου καὶ Ἁρμονίας μνημεῖον, ὡς ἱστορεῖ Φύλαρχος ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ καὶ εἰκοστῇ τῶν Ἱστοριῶν. καὶ Πολέμων δ᾽ ἐν τῷ περὶ τοῦ Μορύχου ἐν Συρακούσαις φησὶν ἐπ᾽ ἄκρᾳ τῇ νήσῳ πρὸς τῷ Γῆς ι Ὀλυμπίας ἱερῷ ἐκτὸς τοῦ τείχους ἐσχάραν τινὰ εἶναι, ἀφ᾽ ἧς, φησί, τὴν κύλικα ναυστολοῦσιν ἀναπλέοντες μέχρι τοῦ γενέσθαι τὴν ἐπὶ τοῦ νεὼ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς ἀόρατον ἀσπίδα: καὶ οὕτως ἀφιᾶσιν εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν κεραμέαν κύλικα, καθέντες εἰς αὐτὴν ἄνθεα καὶ κηρία καὶ λιβανωτὸν ἄτμητον καὶ ἄλλα ἄττα μετὰ τούτων ἀρώματα.
