[5]
On the mountains of Crete there is still in my time a city called Elyrus . Now the citizens sent to Delphi a bronze goat, which is suckling the babies, Phylacides and Philander. The Elyrians say that these were children of Apollo by the nymph Acacallis, and that Apollo mated with Acacallis in the house of Carmanor in the city of Tarrha .

ἔστι δὲ ἐν τοῖς Κρητικοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ κατʼ ἐμὲ ἔτι Ἔλυρος πόλις· οὗτοι οὖν αἶγα χαλκῆν ἀπέστειλαν ἐς Δελφούς, δίδωσι δὲ νηπίοις ἡ αἲξ Φυλακίδῃ καὶ Φιλάνδρῳ γάλα· παῖδας δὲ αὐτοὺς οἱ Ἐλύριοί φασιν Ἀπόλλωνός τε εἶναι καὶ Ἀκακαλλίδος νύμφης, συγγενέσθαι δὲ τῇ Ἀκακαλλίδι Ἀπόλλωνα ἐν πόλει Τάρρᾳ καὶ οἴκῳ Καρμάνορος.
