Strabo,
xiii. p. 608: "... and others say that he landed at Aegesta in Sicily with Elymus the Trojan and took possession of Eryx and Lilybaeum, and gave the names Scamander and Simoeis to rivers near Aegesta, ..."; Virg. Aeneid v. 759.
Strabo VI-2, p. 272: "The last and longest side is not populous either, but still it is fairly well peopled; in fact, Alaesa, Tyndaris, the Emporium of the Aegestes, and Cephaloedis123 are all cities, and Panormus has also a Roman settlement. Aegestaea was founded, it is said, by those who crossed over with Philoctetes to the territory of Croton, as I have stated in my account of Italy; they were sent to Sicily by him along with Aegestes the Trojan"; Cicero, In Verrem ii. 8, 47; Pliny iii. 8. s. 14; Tacitus Ann. iv. 43.)
