Ἐλάτεια δὲ τῶν ἐν Φωκεῦσι μεγίστη πόλεών ἐστι τῶν ἄλλων μετά γε τοὺς Δελφούς· κεῖται δὲ κατὰ Ἀμφίκλειαν, καὶ ἐς αὐτὴν ὀγδοήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ὁδός ἐστιν ἐξ Ἀμφικλείας σταδίων, πεδιὰς ἡ πολλὴ καὶ αὖθις οὐκ ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀνάντης ἡ ἐγγυτάτω τοῦ Ἐλατέων ἄστεως. ῥεῖ δὲ ἐν τῇ πεδιάδι ὁ Κηφισός· αἱ δὲ ὠτίδες καλούμεναι παρὰ τὸν Κηφισὸν νέμονται μάλιστα 0 ὀρνίθων.

Elateia is, with the exception of Delphi , the largest city in Phocis . It lies over against Amphicleia, and the road to it from Amphicleia is one hundred and eighty stades long, level for the most part, but with an upward gradient for a short distance quite close to the town of Elateia . In the plain flows the Cephisus, and the most common bird to live along its banks is the bustard.

[1] Elateia is, with the exception of Delphi, the largest city in Phokis. It lies over against Amphicleia, and the road to it from Amphicleia is one hundred and eighty stadium-lengths long, level for the most part, but with an upward gradient for a short distance quite close to the town of Elateia. In the plain flows the Kephisos, and the most common bird to live along its banks is the bustard.
