[8] On the road from Heraia to Megalopolis is Melainai. It was founded by Melaineus, the son of Lykaon; in my time it was uninhabited, but there is plenty of water flowing over it. Forty stadium-lengths above Melainai is Bouphagion,and here is the source of the Bouphagos, which flows down into the Alpheios. Near the source of the Bouphagos is the boundary between Megalopolis and Heraia.

[8] κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἐξ Ἡραίας ἄγουσαν ἐς Μεγάλην 0 πόλιν εἰσὶ Μελαινεαί· ταύτας ᾤκισε μὲν Μελαινεὺς ὁ Λυκάονος, ἔρημος δὲ ἦν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν, ὕδατι δὲ καταρρεῖται. Μελαινεῶν δὲ τεσσαράκοντά ἐστιν ἀνωτέρω σταδίοις Βουφάγιον, καὶ ὁ ποταμὸς ἐνταῦθα ἔχει πηγὰς ὁ Βουφάγος κατιὼν ἐς τὸν Ἀλφειόν· τοῦ Βουφάγου δὲ περὶ τὰς πηγὰς ὅροι πρὸς Μεγαλοπολίτας Ἡραιεῦσίν εἰσιν.
