Oppidum hoc tenent Boeotia profecti, quos Xerxes ex sedibus suis excitos in Orientem transtulit; servabantque argumentum originis peculiarem sermonem ex Graecis plerumque vocibus constantem, ceterum propter commercii necessitatem finitimorum barbarorum lingua utebantur.
This town is occupied by people from Boeotia, whom Xerxes drove from their homes and transferred to the Orient; and they retained as a proof of their origin a language of their own, consisting for the most part of Greek words, but because of the necessity of commerce they used the speech of the neighbouring barbarians.
