[10] Farther on is the tomb [
mnēma] of Eurystheus. They say that he fled from Attica after the battle with the Herakleidai and was killed here by Iolaos. Further down from this road is a sanctuary [
hieron] of Apollo Lātōios, and then, after that, there are the limits [
horoi] between Megara and Corinth, where they say that Hyllos, son of Hēraklēs, fought-in-single-combat [
monomakheîn] with Ekhemos of Arcadia.

Megara
and
Corinth
, where legend says that Hyllus, son of Heracles, fought a duel with the Arcadian Echemus.
