These, then, live above Amphissa . On the coast is Oeantheia, neighbor to which is Naupactus . The others, but not Amphissa , are under the government of the Achaeans of Patrae , the emperor Augustus having granted them this privilege. In Oeantheia is a sanctuary of Aphrodite, and a little beyond the city there is a grove of cypress-trees mixed with pines; in the grove is a temple of Artemis with an image. The paintings on the walls I found had lost their color with time, and nothing of them was still left worth seeing.
