ὁ δὲ Ἑλισσὼν οὗτος ἀρχόμενος ἐκ κώμης ὁμωνύμου —καὶ γὰρ τῇ κώμῃ τὸ ὄνομα Ἑλισσών ἐστι—τήν τε Διπαιέων καὶ τὴν Λυκαιᾶτιν χώραν, τρίτα δὲ αὐτὴν 0 διεξελθὼν Μεγάλην πόλιν, εἴκοσι σταδίοις ἀπωτέρω Μεγαλοπολιτῶν τοῦ ἄστεως κάτεισιν ἐς τὸν Ἀλφειόν. πλησίον δὲ ἤδη τῆς πόλεως Ποσειδῶνός ἐστιν Ἐπόπτου ναός· ἐλείπετο δὲ τοῦ ἀγάλματος ἡ κεφαλή.

This Helisson, beginning at a village of the same name—for the name of the village also is Helisson—passes through the lands of Dipaea and Iycaea, and then through Megalopolis itself, descending into the Alpheius twenty stades away from the city of Megalopolis . Near the city is a temple of Poseidon Overseer. I found the head of the image still remaining.
