Greek Text

Πελλάνας δὲ ἑκατὸν στάδια ἀπέχει Βελεμίνα καλουμένη· τῆς δὲ χώρας τῆς Λακωνικῆς ἡ Βελεμίνα μάλιστα ἄρδεσθαι πέφυκεν, ἥντινα διοδεύει μὲν τοῦ Εὐρώτα τὸ ὕδωρ, παρέχεται δὲ ἀφθόνους καὶ αὐτὴ πηγάς.

English Translation

One hundred stadia from Pellana lies Belemina. Of all the territory of Laconia, Belemina is naturally the most abundantly watered; for the waters of Eurotas pass through it, and the place itself also yields numerous springs.
