Translation:
[Silver] and gold [are] Ionian [words], but chryseion ["golden"] [is] a possessive adjective. Thucydides [in book] one [writes]: "he had the use of the golden mines".[1] Just as he says argureia ["silver [mines]"] in the second [book]. "As far as Laurion, where the silver mines of the Athenians are."[2]
