Ἡραιεῦσι δὲ οἰκιστὴς μὲν γέγονεν Ἡραιεὺς ὁ Λυκάονος, κεῖται δὲ ἡ πόλις ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Ἀλφειοῦ, τὰ μὲν πολλὰ ἐν ἠρέμα προσάντει, τὰ δὲ καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν καθήκει τὸν Ἀλφειόν. δρόμοι τε παρὰ τῷ ποταμῷ πεποίηνται μυρσίναις καὶ ἄλλοις ἡμέροις διακεκριμένοι δένδροις, καὶ τὰ λουτρὰ αὐτόθι, εἰσὶ δὲ καὶ Διονύσῳ ναοί· τὸν μὲν καλοῦσιν αὐτῶν Πολίτην, τὸν δὲ Αὐξίτην, καὶ οἴκημά ἐστί σφισιν ἔνθα τῷ Διονύσῳ τὰ

The founder of Heraea was Heraeeus the son of Lycaon, and the city lies on the right of the Alpheius, mostly upon a gentle slope, though a part descends right to the Alpheius. Walks have been made along the river, separated by myrtles and other cultivated trees; the baths are there, as are also two temples to Dionysus. One is to the god named Citizen, the other to the Giver of Increase, and they have a building there where they celebrate their mysteries in honor of Dionysus.
