[2] As you go down from the market-place you see on the right of the street called Straight a sanctuary of Apollo Prostaterius (Protecting). You must turn a little aside from the road to discover it. In it is a noteworthy Apollo, Artemis also, and Leto, and other statues, made by Praxiteles. In the old gymnasium near the gate called the Gate of the Nymphs is a stone of the shape of a small pyramid. This they name Apollo Carinus, and here there is a sanctuary of the Eileithyiae.
Such are the sights that the city had to show.

[2] As one goes down from the marketplace [ agorā] there is on the right of the street called Eutheia [‘Straight’] a sanctuary [ hieron] of Apollo Prostaterios [‘Protecting’]. One must turn a little aside from the road to discover it. In it is an Apollo worthy of viewing [ théā], and there is an Artemis also, and Leto, and other statues [ agalmata], made by Praxiteles. In the old gymnasium near the gate [ pulai] called the Nymphades is a stone [ lithos] of the shape of a small pyramid. This they name Apollo Karinos, and at this place there is a sanctuary [ hieron] of the Eileithuiai. Such are the sights that the city had for the showing [ epideixis.
