ἐκ δὲ Κυρτώνων ὑπερβάλλοντι τὸ ὄρος πόλισμά ἐστι Κορσεία, ὑπὸ δὲ αὐτῷ δένδρων ἄλσος οὐχ ἡμέρων· πρῖνοι τὸ πολύ εἰσιν. Ἑρμοῦ δὲ ἄγαλμα οὐ μέγα ἐν ὑπαίθρῳ τοῦ ἄλσους ἕστηκε. τοῦτο ἀπέχει Κορσείας ὅσον τε ἥμισυ σταδίου. καταβάντων δὲ ἐς τὸ χθαμαλὸν ποταμὸς Πλατάνιος καλούμενος ἐκδίδωσιν 0 ἐς θάλασσαν· ἐν δεξιᾷ δὲ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Βοιωτῶν ἔσχατοι ταύτῃ πόλισμα οἰκοῦσιν Ἁλὰς ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ, ἣ τὴν Λοκρίδα ἤπειρον ἀπὸ τῆς Εὐβοίας διείργει.

Going out of Cyrtones, as you cross the mountain you come to Corseia, under which is a grove of trees that are not cultivated, being mostly evergreen oaks. A small image of Hermes stands in the open part of the grove. This is distant from Corseia about half a stade. On descending to the level you reach a river called the Platanius, which flows into the sea. On the right of the river the last of the Boeotians in this part dwell in Halae-on-Sea, which separates the Locrian mainland from Euboea .
