[7] These are the notable things at Teuthis. On the road from Gortys to Megalopolis stands the tomb of those who were killed in the fight with Kleomenes. This tomb the Megalopolitans call Paraebasium (Transgression) because Kleomenes broke his truce with them. Adjoining Paraebasium is a plain about sixty stadium-lengths across. On the right of the road are ruins of a city Brenthe, and here rises a river Brentheates, which some five stadium-lengths farther on falls into the Alpheios.

ταῦτα μὲν δὴ ἐνταῦθά ἐστι· κατὰ δὲ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐκ Γόρτυνος ἐς Μεγάλην πόλιν πεποίηται μνῆμα τοῖς ἀποθανοῦσιν ἐν τῇ πρὸς Κλεομένην μάχῃ. τὸ δὲ μνῆμα τοῦτο ὀνομάζουσιν οἱ Μεγαλοπολῖται Παραιβασίον, ὅτι ἐς αὐτοὺς παρεσπόνδησεν ὁ Κλεομένης. Παραιβασίου δὲ ἔχεται πεδίον ἑξήκοντα σταδίων μάλιστα· καὶ πόλεως ἐρείπια Βρένθης ἐστὶν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ, καὶ ποταμὸς ἔξεισιν αὐτόθεν Βρενθεάτης καὶ ὅσον σταδίους προελθόντι πέντε κάτεισιν ἐς τὸν Ἀλφειόν.
