[5] The Crenaean gate and the Hypsistan they so name for the following reason … and by the Hypsistan is a sanctuary of Zeus surnamed Hypsistos (Most High). Next after these gates is the one called Ogygian, and lastly the Homoloid gate. It appeared to me too that the name of the last was the most recent, and that of the Ogygian the most ancient.
