[4] About twenty stadium-lengths away from Hyettos is Cyrtones. The ancient name of the town was, they say, Cyrtone. It is built on a high mountain, and here are a temple and grove of Apollo. There are also standing images of Apollo and Artemis. There is here too a cool stream of water rising from a rock. By the spring is a sanctuary of the nymphs, and a small grove, in which all the trees alike are cultivated.

Ὑήττου δὲ στάδια ὡς εἴκοσιν ἀπέχουσι Κύρτωνες· τὸ δὲ ἀρχαῖον ὄνομα τῷ πολίσματί φασιν εἶναι Κυρτώνην. ᾤκισται δὲ ἐπὶ ὄρους ὑψηλοῦ, καὶ Ἀπόλλωνός ἐστιν ἐνταῦθα ναός τε καὶ ἄλσος· ἀγάλματα δὲ ὀρθὰ Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ Ἀρτέμιδός ἐστιν. ἔστι δὲ αὐτόθι καὶ ὕδωρ ψυχρὸν ἐκ πέτρας ἀνερχόμενον· νυμφῶν δὲ ἱερὸν ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ καὶ ἄλσος οὐ μέγα ἐστίν, ἥμερα δὲ ὁμοίως πάντα ἐν τῷ ἄλσει δένδρα.
