τὸ ἀπὸ τούτου δὲ ἐς μνήμην οὐδὲν ἄλλο ὅτι εἰ μὴ αὐτὸ τὸ Μεθύδριον λείπεται· ὁδὸς δὲ ἐκ Τρικολώνων ἐς αὐτὸ στάδιοι τριῶν δέοντες τεσσαράκοντα καὶ ἑκατόν. ὠνομάσθη μὲν δὴ Μεθύδριον, ὅτι κολωνός ἐστιν ὑψηλὸς Μαλοίτα τε ποταμοῦ καὶ Μυλάοντος μέσος, ἐφʼ ᾧ τὴν πόλιν ὁ Ὀρχομενὸς ᾤκιζε· πρὶν δὲ ἢ συντελεῖν ἐς τὸ Μεγαλοπολιτικόν, γεγόνασι καὶ Μεθυδριεῦσιν ἀνδράσιν Ὀλυμπικαὶ νῖκαι.

From this point nothing remains to be recorded except Methydrium itself, which is distant from Tricoloni one hundred and thirty-seven stades. It received the name Methydrium (Between the Waters) because there is a high knoll between the river Maloetas and the Mylaon, and on it Orchomenus built his city. Methydrium too had citizens victorious at Olympia before it belonged to Megalopolis .
