[1] So sacred this sanctuary has been from the beginning. On the right of the sanctuary is a plain named after Tenerus the seer, whom they hold to be a son of Apollo by Melia; there is also a large sanctuary of Hēraklēs surnamed Hippodetos (Binder of Horses). For they say that the Orkhomenians came to this place with an army, and that Hēraklēs by night took their chariot-horses and bound them tight.
