[3] After the tomb of Lykos, but on the other side of the Asopos, there is on the right the Olympium, and a little farther on, to the left of the road, the tomb of Eupolis, the Athenian comic poet. Farther on, if you turn in the direction of the city, you see the tomb of Xenodice, who died in childbirth. It has not been made after the native fashion, but so as to harmonize best with the painting, which is very well worth seeing.

μετὰ δὲ τὸ μνῆμα τοῦ Λύκου διαβεβηκόσιν ἤδη τὸν Ἀσωπόν, ἔστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τὸ Ὀλύμπιον, ὀλίγον δὲ ἔμπροσθεν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ τάφος Εὐπόλιδι Ἀθηναίῳ ποιήσαντι κωμῳδίαν. προελθοῦσι δὲ καὶ ἐπιστρέψασιν ὡς ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν Ξενοδίκης μνῆμά ἐστιν ἀποθανούσης ἐν ὠδῖσι· πεποίηται δὲ οὐ κατὰ τὸν ἐπιχώριον τρόπον, ἀλλʼ ὡς ἂν τῇ γραφῇ μάλιστα ἁρμόζοι· γραφὴ δὲ εἴπερ ἄλλη τις καὶ αὕτη ἐστὶ θέας ἀξία.
