On the right of the so-called Dyke lies the Manthuric plain. The plain is on the borders of Tegea , stretching just about fifty stades to that city. On the right of the road is a small mountain called Mount Cresius, on which stands the sanctuary of Aphneius. For Ares, the Tegeans say, mated with Aerope, daughter of Cepheus, the son of Aleus.

τοῦ δὲ καλουμένου Χώματος ἐν δεξιᾷ πεδίον ἐστὶ τὸ Μανθουρικόν· ἔστι δὲ ἐν ὅροις ἤδη Τεγεατῶν τὸ πεδίον, ὂν σταδίων που πεντήκοντα μάλιστα ἄχρι Τεγέας. ἔστι δὲ ὄρος οὐ μέγα ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ καλούμενον Κρήσιον· ἐν δὲ αὐτῷ τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἀφνειοῦ πεποίηται. Ἀερόπῃ γὰρ Κηφέως τοῦ Ἀλέου συνεγένετο Ἄρης, καθὰ οἱ Τεγεᾶται λέγουσι· καὶ ἡ μὲν ἀφίησιν ἐν ταῖς ὠδῖσι τὴν ψυχήν, ὁ δὲ παῖς καὶ τεθνηκυίας
