Passage 3.17.9
τοῦτο τὸ ἄγος οὐκ ἐξεγένετο ἀποφυγεῖν Παυσανίᾳ, καθάρσια παντοῖα καὶ ἱκεσίας δεξαμένῳ Διὸς Φυξίου καὶ δὴ ἐς Φιγαλίαν ἐλθόντι τὴν Ἀρκάδων παρὰ τοὺς ψυχαγωγούς· δίκην δὲ ἣν εἰκὸς ἦν Κλεονίκῃ τε ἀπέδωκε καὶ τῷ θεῷ. Λακεδαιμόνιοι δὲ ἐκτελοῦντες πρόσταγμα ἐκ Δελφῶν τάς τε εἰκόνας ἐποιήσαντο τὰς χαλκᾶς καὶ δαίμονα τιμῶσιν Ἐπιδώτην, τὸ ἐπὶ Παυσανίᾳ τοῦ Ἱκεσίου μήνιμα ἀποτρέπειν τὸν Ἐπιδώτην λέγοντες τοῦτον.
Pausanias could not escape this pollution, despite undergoing all manner of purifications and supplicating Zeus Phyxios, even coming to Phigaleia in Arcadia to seek aid from the necromancers. Nevertheless, he suffered the justice due both to Cleonice and to the god. The Lacedaemonians, carrying out the command from Delphi, made bronze statues and established a cult of Epidotes ("the Bountiful One"), saying it was this deity who turned aside the wrath of Hikesios ("the God of Supplication") directed against Pausanias.
