Machine-translated from the Italian article

Dionysius of Halicarnassus reports that Aeneas, upon arriving in Sicily, met Acestes and Elymus and, to demonstrate his friendship with them, founded for them the cities of Segesta and Elyma. Some have wished to understand Elyma as the city of Eryx. Dionysius confirms the name of the city of Elyma twice: the first time when he states that Aeneas founded it in honour of Elymus, and then again when he states that on its summit he erected a temple to Aphrodite.
