[7] The image of Athena is made of bronze, the work of Hypatodoros, worth seeing for its size and workmanship. They keep a general festival in honor of some god or other; I think in honor of Athena. At this festival they sacrifice first to Fly-catcher, praying to the hero over the victims and calling upon the Fly-catcher. When they have done this the flies trouble them no longer.

[7] τῆς δὲ Ἀθηνᾶς τὸ ἄγαλμα πεποίηται χαλκοῦ, Ὑπατοδώρου τε ἔργον, θέας ἄξιον μεγέθους τε ἕνεκα καὶ ἐς τὴν τέχνην. ἄγουσι δὲ καὶ πανήγυριν ὅτῳ δὴ θεῶν, δοκῶ δὲ σφᾶς ἄγειν τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ· ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ πανηγύρει Μυάγρῳ προθύουσιν, ἐπευχόμενοί τε κατὰ τῶν ἱερείων τῷ ἥρωι καὶ ἐπικαλούμενοι τὸν Μύαγρον· καί σφισι ταῦτα δράσασιν οὐδὲν ἔτι ἀνιαρόν εἰσιν αἱ μυῖαι.
