Greek Text

ὄρη δέ ἐστιν ὑπὲρ τὸ ἄλσος τό τε Τίτθιον καὶ ἕτερον ὀνομαζόμενον Κυνόρτιον, Μαλεάτου δὲ Ἀπόλλωνος ἱερὸν ἐν αὐτῷ. τοῦτο μὲν δὴ τῶν ἀρχαίων· τὰ δὲ ἄλλα ὅσα περὶ τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Μαλεάτου καὶ ἔλυτρον κρήνης, ἐς ὃ τὸ ὕδωρ συλλέγεταί σφισι τὸ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ, Ἀντωνῖνος καὶ ταῦτα Ἐπιδαυρίοις ἐποίησεν.

English Translation

Above the grove are mountains, one called Titthion and another named Kynortion; on this latter stands a sanctuary of Apollo Maleatas. This sanctuary is among the ancient structures, but all the other buildings around the sanctuary of Maleatas, and the reservoir that collects the water coming from the god, were built for the Epidaurians by Antoninus.
