Their origin was from Klazomenes, a city which existed on the coast of the land of Minor Asia and located opposite of the island of Chios. This colonization attempt failed and after a 70 year period of time, new colonists arrived in the same area. This time these people were coming from Teo, a city located near the ancient Klazomenes and a little further south.
