[1]
The city of Delphi , both the sacred enclosure of Apollo and the city generally, lies altogether on sloping ground. The enclosure is very large, and is on the highest part of the city. Passages run through it, close to one another. I will mention which of the votive offerings seemed to me most worthy of notice.

Δελφοῖς δὲ ἡ πόλις ἄναντες διὰ πάσης παρέχεται σχῆμα, κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ δὲ τῇ πόλει τῇ ἄλλῃ καὶ ὁ ἱερὸς περίβολος τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος. οὗτος δὲ μεγέθει μέγας καὶ ἀνωτάτω τοῦ ἄστεώς ἐστι· τέτμηνται δὲ καὶ ἔξοδοι διʼ αὐτοῦ συνεχεῖς. ὁπόσα δὲ τῶν ἀναθημάτων εἶναί μοι λόγου μάλιστα ἄξια ἐφαίνετο, ποιησόμεθα

[1] The city [ polis] of Delphi, both the sacred [ hieros] enclosure [ peribolos] of Apollo and the city generally, presents a sloping configuration [ skhēma] in its entirety. The enclosure is very large and is on the highest part of the city. Passages run through it, contiguous with one another. I will make mention [ mnēmē] of those votive offerings [ anathēmata] that seemed to me most worth talking-about [ logos].
