[3] On the left of Copae about twelve stadium-lengths from it is Olmones, and some seven stadium-lengths distant from Olmones is Hyettos both right from their foundation to the present day have been villages. In my view Hyettos, as well as the Athamantian plain, belongs to the district of Orkhomenos. All the stories I heard about Hyettos the Argive and Olmus, the son of Sisyphus, I shall include in my history of Orkhomenos. In Olmones they did not show me anything that was in the least worth seeing, but in Hyettos is a temple of Hēraklēs, from whom the sick may get cures. There is an image not carefully carved, but of unfinished stone after the ancient fashion.

Κωπῶν δὲ ἐν ἀριστερᾷ σταδίους προελθόντι ὡς δώδεκα εἰσὶν Ὄλμωνες, Ὀλμωνέων δὲ ἑπτά που στάδια Ὕηττος ἀφέστηκε κῶμαι νῦν τε οὖσαι καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξ ἀρχῆς· μοίρας δὲ ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν τῆς Ὀρχομενίας εἰσὶ καὶ αὗται καὶ πεδίον τὸ Ἀθαμάντιον. καὶ ὅσα μὲν ἐς Ὕηττον ἄνδρα Ἀργεῖον καὶ Ὄλμον τὸν Σισύφου λεγόμενα ἤκουον, προσέσται καὶ αὐτὰ τῇ Ὀρχομενίᾳ συγγραφῇ· θέας δὲ ἄξιον ἐν μὲν Ὄλμωσιν οὐδʼ ἐπὶ βραχύτατον παρεῖχον οὐδέν, ἐν Ὑήττῳ δὲ ναός ἐστιν Ἡρακλέους καὶ ἰάματα εὕρασθαι παρὰ τούτου τοῖς κάμνουσιν ἔστιν, ὄντος οὐχὶ ἀγάλματος σὺν τέχνῃ, λίθου δὲ ἀργοῦ κατὰ τὸ ἀρχαῖον.
