Passage 10.5.1: The Phocicum, an assembly building for Phocians on the road from Daulis to Delphi

Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ἔστι δὲ καὶ ἄνοδος διὰ τῆς Δαυλίδος ἐς τὰ ἄκρα τοῦ Παρνασσοῦ μακροτέρα τῆς ἐκ Δελφῶν, οὐ μέντοι καὶ κατὰ ταὐτὰ χαλεπή. ἐς δὲ τὴν ἐπὶ Δελφῶν εὐθεῖαν ἀναστρέψαντι ἐκ Δαυλίδος καὶ ἰόντι ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσω, ἔστιν οἰκοδόμημα ἐν ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ καλούμενον Φωκικόν, ἐς ὃ ἀπὸ ἑκάστης πόλεως συνίασιν οἱ Φωκεῖς.

English Translation

There is another route upward through Daulis to the summits of Parnassus, longer than the one from Delphi, but not equally difficult. Turning onto the direct road to Delphi from Daulis and advancing further, one finds on the left side of the way a building known as the Phocicum, to which from each city the Phocians assemble.
