[1] The land of Oropos, between Attica and the land of Tanagra, which originally belonged to Boeotia, in our time belongs to the Athenians, who always fought for it but never won secure possession until Philip gave it to them after taking Thebes. Their city [ polis] is on the coast and affords nothing remarkable for any scientific-write-up [ sungraphē]. About twelve stadium-lengths from the city [ polis] is a sanctuary [ hieron] of Amphiaraos.
