§3.22.8Μαριὸς δὲ ἄλλο Ἐλευθερολακώνων πόλισμα, ὃ ἀπὸ Γερονθρῶν στάδια ἑκατὸν ἀφέστηκεν.
Marios is another town of the Free Laconians, which is a hundred stades distant from Geronthrae.
ἱερόν ἐστιν αὐτόθι ἀρχαῖον κοινὸν θεῶν ἁπάντων καὶ περὶ αὐτὸ ἄλσος παρεχόμενον πηγάς, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ ἐν Ἀρτέμιδος ἱερῷ πηγαί·
There is there an ancient sanctuary common to all the gods, and around it a grove providing springs; there are also springs in the sanctuary of Artemis.
ὕδωρ δὲ ἄφθονον εἴπερ ἄλλο τι χωρίον παρέχεται καὶ Μαριός.
Marios provides abundant water, if indeed any other place does.
κώμη δὲ ὑπὲρ τὸ πόλισμά ἐστιν ἐν μεσογαίᾳ καὶ αὐτή, Γλυππία· καὶ ἐς κώμην ἑτέραν Σελινοῦντα ἐκ Γερονθρῶν ἐστιν ὁδὸς σταδίων εἴκοσι.
Above the town in the interior is a village, itself also, Glyppia; and to another village, Selinus, from Geronthrae there is a road of twenty stades.
§3.22.9τάδε μὲν ἀπὸ Ἀκριῶν ἄνω πρὸς ἤπειρον· τὰ δὲ πρὸς θαλάσσῃ, πόλις Ἀσωπὸς Ἀκριῶν ἀπέχει σταδίους ἑξήκοντα.
These things indeed are from Acriae inland towards the interior; as for those by the sea, the city Asopus is sixty stades distant from Acriae.
ἐν αὐτῇ δὲ ναός τε Ῥωμαίων βασιλέων καὶ ἀνωτέρω τῆς πόλεως ὅσον τε σταδίους δώδεκα ἱερόν ἐστιν Ἀσκληπιοῦ· Φιλόλαον τὸν θεὸν ὀνομάζουσι.
In it there is a temple of the Roman emperors, and further up from the city, about twelve stades, is a sanctuary of Asclepius; they call the god Philolaus.
τὰ δὲ ὀστᾶ ἐν τῷ γυμνασίῳ τὰ τιμώμενα μεγέθει μὲν ὑπερβάλλοντα, ἀνθρώπου δὲ ὅμως ἐστί.
The bones honored in the gymnasium are of extraordinary size, yet they are nevertheless of a human being.
καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς ἱερόν ἐστιν ἐν τῇ ἀκροπόλει Κυπαρισσίας ἐπίκλησιν.
And there is a sanctuary of Athena on the acropolis, with the surname Cyparissia.
τῆς δὲ ἀκροπόλεως πρὸς τοῖς ποσὶ πόλεως ἐρείπια καλουμένης Ἀχαιῶν τῶν Παρακυπαρισσίων.
At the foot of the acropolis are the ruins of a city called that of the Paracyparissian Achaeans.
§3.22.10ἔστι δὲ ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ ἱερὸν Ἀσκληπιοῦ στάδια ἀπέχον ὡς πεντήκοντα Ἀσωποῦ· τὸ δὲ χωρίον, ἔνθα τὸ Ἀσκληπιεῖον, Ὑπερτελέατον ὀνομάζουσιν.
There is also in this land a sanctuary of Asclepius, about fifty stades distant from Asopus; and they name the place where the Asclepieum is Hyperteleaton.
ἄκρα δὲ ἀνέχουσα ἐς θάλασσαν ἀφέστηκεν Ἀσωποῦ διακόσια στάδια· καλοῦσι δὲ Ὄνου γνάθον τὴν ἄκραν.
A cape projecting into the sea is two hundred stades distant from Asopus; and they call the cape the Jaw of an Ass.
ἐνταῦθά ἐστιν Ἀθηνᾶς ἱερὸν ἄγαλμα οὐκ ἔχον, οὐδὲ ὄροφος ἔπεστιν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ· λέγεται δὲ ὡς ὑπὸ Ἀγαμέμνονος ἐποιήθη.
There is there a sanctuary of Athena which has no image, nor is there a roof upon it; and it is said that it was made by Agamemnon.
ἔστι δὲ καὶ μνῆμα Κινάδου· νεὼς τῆς Μενελάου καὶ οὗτος κυβερνήτης ἦν.
There is also the monument of Cinadus; he too was the helmsman of the ship of Menelaus.
§3.22.11ἐσέχει δὲ μετὰ τὴν ἄκραν Βοιατικὸς καλούμενος κόλπος, καὶ Βοιαὶ πόλις πρὸς τῷ πέρατί ἐστι τοῦ κόλπου.
After the cape there indents the gulf called Boeatic, and the city Boeae is at the end of the gulf.
ταύτην ᾤκισε μὲν Βοιὸς τῶν Ἡρακλειδῶν, συναγαγεῖν δὲ ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τριῶν ἐς αὐτὴν λέγεται πόλεων, Ἤτιδος καὶ Ἀφροδισιάδος καὶ Σίδης.
Boeus, one of the Heracleidae, founded this, but he is said to have gathered men into it from three cities, Etis, Aphrodisias, and Sida.
τῶν δὲ πόλεων τῶν ἀρχαίων τὰς μὲν δύο ἐς Ἰταλίαν φεύγοντα Αἰνείαν καὶ ὑπὸ πνευμάτων ἀπενεχθέντα ἐς τοῦτον τὸν κόλπον οἰκίσαι φασί, τὴν Ἠτιάδα Αἰνείου θυγατέρα λέγοντες εἶναι· τὴν τρίτην δὲ κληθῆναι τῶν πόλεων λέγουσιν ἀπὸ τῆς Δαναοῦ Σίδης.
Of these ancient cities, they say that Aeneas, fleeing to Italy and being driven by winds into this gulf, founded two of them, saying that Etias was a daughter of Aeneas; and they say that the third of the cities was named after Sida, the daughter of Danaus.
§3.22.12ἀπὸ δὴ τούτων τῶν πόλεων ἀναστάντες ἐζήτουν ἔνθα οἰκῆσαι σφᾶς χρεὼν εἴη· καί τι καὶ μάντευμα ἦν αὐτοῖς Ἄρτεμιν ἔνθα οἰκήσουσιν ἐπιδείξειν.
Having therefore departed from these cities, they sought where it was necessary for them to dwell; and they had a certain oracle that Artemis would point out where they should dwell.
ὡς οὖν ἐκβᾶσιν ἐς τὴν γῆν λαγὼς ἐπιφαίνεται, τὸν λαγὼν ἐποιήσαντο ἡγεμόνα τῆς ὁδοῦ· καταδύντος δὲ ἐς μυρσίνην πόλιν τε οἰκίζουσιν ἐνταῦθα, οὗπερ ἡ μυρσίνη ἦν, καὶ τὸ δένδρον ἔτι ἐκείνην σέβουσι τὴν μυρσίνην καὶ Ἄρτεμιν ὀνομάζουσι Σώτειραν.
When therefore they had disembarked onto the land, a hare appeared, and they made the hare the leader of their way; and when it ran into a myrtle bush, they founded a city there, where the myrtle was, and they still worship that myrtle tree and call Artemis Savior.
§3.22.13καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος ναὸς ἐν τῇ Βοιατῶν ἀγορᾷ ἐστι καὶ ἑτέρωθι Ἀσκληπιοῦ καὶ Σαράπιδός τε καὶ Ἴσιδος.
And there is a temple of Apollo in the marketplace of the Boeaeans, and elsewhere of Asclepius and of Sarapis and Isis.
Ἤτιδος δʼ ἐρείπια ἀπέχει μὲν Βοιῶν οὐ πλέον ἢ σταδίους ἑπτά· ἰόντι δὲ ἐς αὐτὰ ἄγαλμα Ἑρμοῦ λίθινον ἕστηκεν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐρειπίοις ἱερὸν Ἀσκληπιοῦ καὶ Ὑγείας ἐστὶν οὐκ ἀφανές.
The ruins of Etis are distant from Boeae no more than seven stades; for one going to them, a stone statue of Hermes stands on the left, and among the ruins is a not undistinguished sanctuary of Asclepius and Hygeia.
