Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

Ἀμφικτύονες δὲ ὡς εἷλον τὴν πόλιν, ἐπράξαντο ὑπὲρ τοῦ θεοῦ δίκας παρὰ Κιρραίων, καὶ ἐπίνειον Δελφῶν ἐστιν ἡ Κίρρα. παρέχεται δὲ καὶ ἐς θέαν Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ Ἀρτέμιδος καὶ Λητοῦς ναόν τε καὶ ἀγάλματα μεγέθει μεγάλα καὶ ἐργασίας Ἀττικῆς. ἡ δὲ Ἀδράστεια ἵδρυται μὲν ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ σφίσι, μεγέθει δὲ τῶν ἄλλων ἀποδέουσα ἀγαλμάτων ἐστίν.

English Translation

When the Amphictyons captured the city, they exacted punishment upon the Cirrhaeans in the name of the god; Cirrha is now the harbor town of Delphi. It also provides for viewing a temple and statues of Apollo, Artemis, and Leto, statues notable for their great size and Attic craftsmanship. Adrasteia is also set up there among them, but her statue is smaller in scale compared to the others.
