Greek Text

ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν πολυανδρίων ἰόντι Ἀ ν θήνη τέ ἐστιν, ἐς ἣν Αἰγινῆταί ποτε ᾤκησαν, καὶ ἑτέρα κώμη Νηρίς, τρίτη δὲ Εὔα μεγίστη τῶν κωμῶν· καὶ ἱερὸν τοῦ Πολεμοκράτους ἐστὶν ἐν ταύτῃ. ὁ δὲ Πολεμοκράτης ἐστὶ καὶ οὗτος Μαχάονος υἱός, ἀδελφὸς δὲ Ἀλεξάνορος, καὶ ἰᾶται τοὺς ταύτῃ καὶ τιμὰς παρὰ τῶν προσοίκων ἔχει.

English Translation

As one proceeds from the burial-places, there is Anthene, where once the Aeginetans settled, and another village called Neris; then a third, Eva, the largest of these villages. In Eva is a sanctuary of Polemocrates. This Polemocrates is himself a son of Machaon and a brother of Alexanor; he heals the people of that district, and receives honors from the neighboring inhabitants.
