§7.5.8ὁπόσαι δὲ τοῦ Θρᾳκίου γένους ἐδούλευον καὶ οὔσαις σφίσιν ἐλευθέραις ἦν ἐνταῦθα βίος, ἀποκεῖραι παρέχουσιν αὑτάς· καὶ οὕτως οἱ Ἐρυθραῖοι τὴν σχεδίαν καθέλκουσιν.
But all the women of the Thracian race who were enslaved, and those who, though free, had their livelihood there, allowed themselves to be shorn; and thus the Erythraeans dragged the raft ashore.
ἔσοδός τε δὴ ταῖς Θρᾴσσαις ἐς τὸ Ἡράκλειόν ἐστι γυναικῶν μόναις, καὶ τὸ καλῴδιον τὸ ἐκ τῶν τριχῶν καὶ ἐς ἐμὲ ἔτι οἱ ἐπιχώριοι φυλάσσουσι· καὶ δὴ καὶ τὸν ἁλιέα οἱ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι ἀναβλέψαι τε καὶ ὁρᾶν τὸ λοιπὸν τοῦ βίου φασίν.
Consequently, access to the sanctuary of Heracles is open to Thracian women alone of all women, and the rope made of the hair is still kept by the inhabitants even down to my time; and moreover, these same people say that the fisherman recovered his sight and could see for the rest of his life.
§7.5.9ἔστι δὲ ἐν Ἐρυθραῖς καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς Πολιάδος ναὸς καὶ ἄγαλμα ξύλου μεγέθει μέγα καθήμενόν τε ἐπὶ θρόνου καὶ ἠλακάτην ἐν ἑκατέρᾳ τῶν χειρῶν ἔχει καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς πόλον·
There is also in Erythrae a temple of Athena Polias and a wooden image of great size; it is seated upon a throne, holding a spindle in each hand and having a polos upon its head.
τοῦτο Ἐνδοίου τέχνην καὶ ἄλλοις ἐτεκμαιρόμεθα εἶναι καὶ ἐς τὴν ἐργασίαν ὁρῶντες ἔνδον τοῦ ἀγάλματος καὶ οὐχ ἥκιστα ἐπὶ ταῖς Χάρισί τε καὶ Ὥραις, αἳ πρὶν ἐσελθεῖν ἑστήκασιν ἐν ὑπαίθρῳ λίθου λευκοῦ.
That this is the work of Endoius we inferred from other evidence and especially by looking at the workmanship inside the image, and not least from the Graces and Seasons which stand in the open air of white marble before one enters.
ἐποιήθη δὲ καὶ κατʼ ἐμὲ Σμυρναίοις ἱερὸν Ἀσκληπιοῦ μεταξὺ Κορυφῆς τε ὄρους καὶ θαλάσσης ἀμιγοῦς ὕδατι ἀλλοίῳ.
In my time too, a sanctuary of Asclepius was built for the Smyrnaeans between Mount Coryphe and a sea unmixed with water of another kind.
§7.5.10ἡ δὲ Ἰωνία παρὲξ τῶν τε ἱερῶν καὶ τῆς τοῦ ἀέρος κράσεως παρέχεται καὶ ἄλλα ἐς συγγραφήν, ἡ μέν γε Ἐφεσία χώρα τόν τε Κέγχριον ποταμὸν καὶ τοῦ Πίονος τοῦ ὄρους τὴν φύσιν καὶ πηγὴν τὴν Ἁλιταίαν· ἐν δὲ τῇ Μιλησίᾳ πηγή τέ ἐστι Βιβλὶς καὶ ὅσα ἐς τῆς Βιβλίδος τὸν ἔρωτα ᾄδουσιν· ἐν δὲ τῇ Κολοφωνίων ἄλσος τε τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος, δένδρα μελίαι, καὶ οὐ πόρρω τοῦ ἄλσους Ἄλης ποταμὸς ψυχρότατος τῶν ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ.
Ionia, besides its sanctuaries and the tempering of its climate, provides also other things worthy of record: the Ephesian territory, for instance, has the river Cenchrius, the natural character of Mount Pion, and the spring Halitaea; in the Milesian territory is the spring Byblis, and all the stories they sing about the love of Byblis; and in the Colophonian territory is the grove of Apollo, consisting of ash trees, and not far from the grove is the river Ales, the coldest of the rivers in Ionia.
§7.5.11Λεβεδίοις δὲ τὰ λουτρὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ θαῦμα ἀνθρώποις ὁμοῦ καὶ ὠφέλεια γίνεται· ἔστι δὲ καὶ Τηίοις ἐπὶ τῇ ἄκρᾳ λουτρὰ τῇ Μακρίᾳ, τὰ μὲν ἐπὶ τῷ κλύδωνι ἐν πέτρας χηραμῷ, τὰ δὲ καὶ ἐς ἐπίδειξιν πλούτου πεποιημένα.
For the Lebedians, the baths in their land are at once a wonder and a benefit to men; for the Teians also, there are baths on the cape of Macria, some in a cleft of the rock where the waves break, and others built to display wealth.
Κλαζομενίοις δὲ λουτρά ἐστιν—ἐν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἀγαμέμνων ἔχει τιμάς—καὶ ἄντρον μητρός σφισι Πύρρου καλούμενον, καὶ λόγον ἐπὶ τῷ Πύρρῳ λέγουσι τῷ ποιμένι·
The Clazomenians too have baths—where Agamemnon receives honors—and they have a cave called the cave of Pyrrhus' mother, and they tell a story about Pyrrhus the shepherd.
§7.5.12Ἐρυθραίοις δὲ ἔστι μὲν χώρα Χαλκίς, ἀφʼ ἧς καὶ τῶν φυλῶν σφισιν ἡ τρίτη τὸ ὄνομα ἔσχηκεν, ἔστι δὲ τῆς Χαλκίδος κατατείνουσα ἐς τὸ πέλαγος ἄκρα καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ λουτρὰ θαλάσσια, μάλιστα τῶν ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ λουτρῶν ὠφέλιμα ἀνθρώποις.
For the Erythraeans there is the Chalcis country, from which also the third of their tribes has taken its name, and there is a cape of Chalcis extending into the sea, on which are salt-water baths, the most beneficial to men of all the baths in Ionia.
Σμυρναίοις δὲ ποταμὸς Μέλης ὕδωρ ἐστὶ κάλλιστον καὶ σπήλαιον ἐπὶ ταῖς πηγαῖς, ἔνθα Ὅμηρον ποιῆσαι τὰ ἔπη λέγουσι·
For the Smyrnaeans, the river Meles is the most beautiful water, and there is a cave at its sources where they say Homer composed his epic poems.
§7.5.13Χίοις δὲ ὁ τοῦ Οἰνοπίωνος τάφος θέαν τε παρέχεται καί τινας καὶ λόγους ἐς τοῦ Οἰνοπίωνος τὰ ἔργα·
For the Chians, the tomb of Oenopion provides a sight, and there are also some stories about the deeds of Oenopion.
Σαμίοις δὲ κατὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐς τὸ Ἡραῖον τὸ Ῥαδίνης καὶ Λεοντίχου μνῆμά ἐστι, καὶ τοῖς ὑπὸ ἔρωτος ἀνιωμένοις εὔχεσθαι καθέστηκεν ἰοῦσιν ἐπὶ τὸ μνῆμα.
For the Samians, on the road to the Heraeum, is the monument of Radine and Leontichus, and it is established for those who are distressed by love to go and pray at the monument.
τὰ μὲν δὴ ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ θαύματα πολλά τε καὶ οὐ πολλῷ τινι τῶν ἐν τῇ Ἑλλάδι ἀποδέοντά ἐστιν·
Indeed, the wonders in Ionia are many, and they fall not far short of those in Greece.
