	:Finally they arrived at a land that appeared very barren, but they found the mouth of a harbor there. “Here,” said Minerva, “it seems we shall have nothing to fear from princes or priests, for they love only rich fat lands.” But when they entered the haven, they found it was too small for all the ships. And yet almost all aboard the fleet were too exhausted to set sail again. Then Jon, who wanted to sail onward, went out with his spear and banner, calling the young folk who would willingly join him. Minerva, who wished to remain there, did likewise. The majority joined Minerva, but the youngest navigators went with Jon. Jon took Kelta’s Lamp and maidens with him, and Minerva kept her own Lamp and maidens.		:Finally they arrived at a land that appeared very barren, but they found the mouth of a harbor there. “Here,” said Minerva, “it seems we shall have nothing to fear from princes or priests, for they love only rich fat lands.” But when they entered the haven, they found it was too small for all the ships.

	When Jon reached the Mediterranean Sea, the reports of the Gauls had preceded him, so that on the nearest Italian coast he was nowhere safe. Therefore he went with his fleet straight over to Lybia. There the black men wanted to catch them and eat them. At last they came to Tyre, but Min-erva said, Keep clear, for here the air has been long poisoned by the priests. The king was a descendant of Teunis, as we were afterwards informed; but as the priests wished to have a king, who, according to their ideas, was of long descent, they deified Teunis, to the vexation of his followers. After they had passed Tyre, the Tyrians seized one of the rearmost ships, and as the ship was too far behind us, we could not take it back again; but Jon swore to be revenged for it. When night came, Jon bent his course towards the distant Krekalanden. At last they arrived at a country that looked very barren, but they found a harbour there. Here, said Min-erva, we need not perhaps have any fear of princes or priests, as they always look out for rich fat lands. When they entered the harbour, there was not room for all the ships, and yet most of the people were too cowardly to go any further. Then Jon, who wished to get away, went with his spear and banner, calling to the young people, to know who would volunteer to share his adventures. Min-erva did the same thing, but she wished to remain there. The greater part stopped with Min-erva, but the young sailors went with Jon.

	Between the near and the distant coasts of Italy Jon found some islands, which he thought desirable. Upon the largest he built a city in the wood between the mountains. From the smaller islands he made expeditions for vengeance on the Tyrians, and plundered their ships and their lands. Therefore these islands were called Insulæ Piratarum, as well as Johannis Insulæ.<ref>Jonhis ~~êlanda—John~~'s Islands, or the Pirated Isles.</ref>		Between the near and the distant coasts of Italy Jon found some islands, which he thought desirable.

	When Min-erva had examined the country which is called by the inhabitants Attica, she saw that the people were all goatherds, and that they lived on meat, wild roots, herbs, and honey. They were clothed in skins, and had their dwellings on the slopes (''hellinga'') of the hills, wherefore they were called Hellingers. At first they ran away, but when they found that we did not attack them, they came back and showed great friendship. Min-erva asked if we might settle there peaceably. This was agreed to on. the condition that we should help them to fight against their neighbours, who came continually to carry away their children and to rob their dwellings. Then we built a citadel at an hour's distance from the harbour. By the advice of Min-erva it was called Athens,<ref>Athenia is Athens.</ref> because, she said, those who come after us ought to know that we are not here by cunning or violence, but were received as friends (''âtha''). While we were building the citadel the principal personages came to see us, and when they saw that we had no slaves it did not please them, and they gave her to understand it, as they thought that she was a princess. But Min-erva said, How did you get your slaves? They answered, We bought some and took others in war. Min-erva replied, If nobody would buy slaves they would '''[p.101]''' not steal your children, and you would have no wars about it. If you wish to remain our allies, you will free your slaves. The chiefs did not like this, and wanted to drive us away; but the most enlightened of the people came and helped us to build our citadel, which was built of stone.
