Pausanias Description of Greece 1.20.1

[1]
  Leading from the prytaneum is a road called Tripods. The place takes its name from the shrines, large enough to hold the tripods which stand upon them, of bronze, but containing very remarkable works of art, including a Satyr, of which Praxiteles is said to have been very proud. Phryne once asked of him the most beautiful of his works, and the story goes that lover-like he agreed to give it, but refused to say which he thought the most beautiful. So a slave of Phryne rushed in saying that a fire had broken out in the studio of Praxiteles, and the greater number of his works were lost, though not all were destroyed.

[1] Leading from the Prytaneion [‘City Hall’] is a road called Tripods [ Tripodes]. The place [ khōríon] takes its name from the shrines [ nāoi], large enough to hold the tripods [ tripodes] that stand upon them, of bronze, and containing works of artisanship that are most worthy of remembering [ mnēmē], including a Satyr, of which Praxiteles is said to have thought-of [ phroneîn] very highly. Once upon a time, Phryne asked him which of his works [ erga] was the most beautiful of them all, and they say that he agreed to give that one as a gift [to her], but he refused to say which of his works appeared to him to be the most beautiful of them all. Well, a slave of Phryne rushed up to Praxiteles saying that a fire had broken out in his building and that the greater number of his works [ erga] were lost, though not all were destroyed.
