Passage 10.34.1
Ἐλάτεια δὲ τῶν ἐν Φωκεῦσι μεγίστη πόλεών ἐστι τῶν ἄλλων μετά γε τοὺς Δελφούς· κεῖται δὲ κατὰ Ἀμφίκλειαν, καὶ ἐς αὐτὴν ὀγδοήκοντα καὶ ἑκατὸν ὁδός ἐστιν ἐξ Ἀμφικλείας σταδίων, πεδιὰς ἡ πολλὴ καὶ αὖθις οὐκ ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀνάντης ἡ ἐγγυτάτω τοῦ Ἐλατέων ἄστεως. ῥεῖ δὲ ἐν τῇ πεδιάδι ὁ Κηφισός· αἱ δὲ ὠτίδες καλούμεναι παρὰ τὸν Κηφισὸν νέμονται μάλιστα ὀρνίθων.
Elateia is the largest of the Phocian cities after Delphi itself. It lies near Amphicleia, and the road between them is one hundred and eighty stadia. Most of the way is flat terrain, and then again only slightly uphill as one approaches the city of Elateia. The Cephisus River flows through this plain, and the birds known as otides particularly frequent its banks.
