Passage 1.44.3
ἐς δὲ τὸ ἐπίνειον, καλούμενον καὶ ἐς ἡμᾶς ἔτι Νίσαιαν, ἐς τοῦτο κατελθοῦσιν ἱερὸν Δήμητρός ἐστι Μαλοφόρου· λέγεται δὲ καὶ ἄλλα ἐς τὴν ἐπίκλησιν καὶ τοὺς πρώτους πρόβατα ἐν τῇ γῇ θρέψαντας Δήμητρα ὀνομάσαι Μαλοφόρον, καταρρυῆναι δὲ τῷ ἱερῷ τὸν ὄροφον τεκμαίροιτο ἄν τις ὑπὸ τοῦ χρόνου. καὶ ἀκρόπολίς ἐστιν ἐνταῦθα ὀνομαζομένη καὶ αὐτὴ Νίσαια· καταβᾶσι δὲ ἐκ τῆς ἀκροπόλεως μνῆμά ἐστι πρὸς θαλάσσῃ Λέλεγος, ὃν ἀφικόμενον βασιλεῦσαι λέγουσιν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, παῖδα δὲ εἶναι Ποσειδῶνος καὶ Λιβύης τῆς Ἐπάφου. παρήκει δὲ παρὰ τὴν Νίσαιαν νῆσος οὐ μεγάλη Μινώα· ἐνταῦθα ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ τῷ πρὸς Νῖσον παρώρμει τὸ ναυτικὸν τῶν Κρητῶν.
When you descend toward the harbor, which is still called Nisaea even in our time, there is the sanctuary of Demeter Malophoros ("Sheep-bearer"). There are other explanations concerning this title; they say, in particular, that Demeter was called "Sheep-bearer" by those who first raised flocks of sheep on the land. The roof of the sanctuary has fallen in, as one might see, from the passage of time. There is also an acropolis here that itself is called Nisaea. When you descend from the acropolis to the sea, there is a tomb of Lelex; it is said that Lelex came from Egypt and became king of the country, and that he was the son of Poseidon by Libya, daughter of Epaphus. Near Nisaea lies a small island, Minoa. During the war against Nisus, the Cretan fleet anchored there.
