Greek Text

τοῦ λιμένος δὲ οὐ πόρρω τοῦ Κρυπτοῦ θέατρόν ἐστι θέας ἄξιον, κατὰ τὸ Ἐπιδαυρίων μάλιστα μέγεθος καὶ ἐργασίαν τὴν λοιπήν. τούτου δὲ ὄπισθεν ᾠκοδόμηται σταδίου πλευρὰ μία, ἀνέχουσά τε αὐτὴ τὸ θέατρον καὶ ἀντὶ ἐρείσματος ἀνάλογον ἐκείνῳ χρωμένη.

English Translation

Not far from the harbor called Krypto there is a theatre worthy of attention, very similar to that of the Epidaurians, both in size and general workmanship. Behind this theatre one side of a stadium has been built, which supports the theatre and serves it as a suitable reinforcement.
