Passage 10.7.1
ἔοικε δὲ ἐξ ἀρχῆς τὸ ἱερὸν τὸ ἐν Δελφοῖς ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἐπιβεβουλεῦσθαι πλείστων ἤδη. οὗτός τε ὁ Εὐβοεὺς λῃστὴς καὶ ἔτεσιν ὕστερον τὸ ἔθνος τὸ Φλεγυῶν, ἔτι δὲ Πύρρος ὁ Ἀχιλλέως ἐπεχείρησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ δυνάμεως μοῖρα τῆς Ξέρξου, καὶ οἱ χρόνον τε ἐπὶ πλεῖστον καὶ μάλιστα τοῦ θεοῦ τοῖς χρήμασιν ἐπελθόντες οἱ ἐν Φωκεῦσι δυνάσται, καὶ ἡ Γαλατῶν στρατιά. ἔμελλε δὲ ἄρα οὐδὲ τῆς Νέρωνος ἐς πάντα ὀλιγωρίας ἀπειράτως ἕξειν, ὃς τὸν Ἀπόλλωνα πεντακοσίας θεῶν τε ἀναμὶξ ἀφείλετο καὶ ἀνθρώπων εἰκόνας χαλκᾶς.
From the very beginning, it seems, the sanctuary at Delphi has been the target of numerous human attacks. This Euboean pirate was among them; afterward, the tribe of the Phlegyae, and later Pyrrhus, son of Achilles, also attempted it. Similarly, part of Xerxes' army tried to seize it, as did the Phocian leaders, who went the furthest and for the longest period in plundering the god's property. The Galatian army also made such an attempt. Nor, it seems, was even Nero, who was contemptuous of all things, going to remain ignorant of this impulse; indeed, he carried away from Apollo five hundred bronze statues of gods and mortals alike.
