[4] All those who seek sanctuary here receive full forgiveness, and prisoners, when set free, dedicate their fetters on the trees in the grove. The Phliasians also celebrate a yearly festival which they call Ivy-cutters. There is no statue [ agalma], either kept in secret or openly displayed, and the reason for this is set forth in a sacred discourse [ hieros logos] of theirs though on the left as you go out is a temple of Hērā with a statue [ agalma] of Parian marble.
