² Livy XXXVII, 54, 18 (190 B.C., from Polybius): non, quae in solo [modo] antiquo sunt, Graecae magis urbes sunt quam coloniae earum, illinc quondam profectae in Asiam; nec terra mutata mutavit genus aut mores. Phrygia and Pisidia are explicitly included, ib. 54, 11. The speech need not be Polybius' own composition: the matter was important to Rhodes, and the gist of the actual speech of the Rhodian envoys might have been preserved by one of the Rhodian historians whom Polybius used.
