[7] Distant from Olympia about fifty stadium-lengths is Herakleia, a village of the Eleians, and beside it is a river Cytherus. A spring flows into the river, and there is a sanctuary of nymphs near the spring. Individually, the names of the nymphs are Kalliphaiïa, Synallasis, Pegaia, and Iasis, but their common surname is the Ionides. Those who bathe in the spring are cured of all sorts of aches and pains. They say that the nymphs are named after Ion, the son of Gargettos, who migrated to this place from Athens.
