ἔστι δὲ Ἀλίφηρα πόλισμα οὐ μέγα· ἐξελείφθη γὰρ ὑπὸ οἰκητόρων πολλῶν ὑπὸ τὸν συνοικισμὸν τῶν Ἀρκάδων ἐς Μεγάλην πόλιν. ἐς τοῦτο οὖν τὸ πόλισμα ἐρχόμενος ἐξ Ἡραίας τόν τε Ἀλφειὸν διαβήσῃ καὶ σταδίων μάλιστά που δέκα διελθὼν πεδίον ἐπὶ ὄρος ἀφίξῃ καὶ αὖθις στάδια ὅσον τριάκοντα ἐς τὸ πόλισμα ἀναβήσῃ διὰ τοῦ ὄρους.

There is a town, Aliphera, of no great size, for it was abandoned by many of its inhabitants at the union of the Arcadians into Megalopolis . As you go to this town from Heraea you will cross the Alpheius, and after going over a plain of just about ten stades you will reach a mountain, and ascending across the mountain for some thirty stades more you will come to the town.
