Greek Text

ἔστι δὲ ἐν τῇ γῇ ταύτῃ καὶ ἱερὸν Ἀσκληπιοῦ στάδια ἀπέχον ὡς πεντήκοντα Ἀσωποῦ· τὸ δὲ χωρίον, ἔνθα τὸ Ἀσκληπιεῖον, Ὑπερτελέατον ὀνομάζουσιν. ἄκρα δὲ ἀνέχουσα ἐς θάλασσαν ἀφέστηκεν Ἀσωποῦ διακόσια στάδια· καλοῦσι δὲ Ὄνου γνάθον τὴν ἄκραν. ἐνταῦθά ἐστιν Ἀθηνᾶς ἱερὸν ἄγαλμα οὐκ ἔχον, οὐδὲ ὄροφος ἔπεστιν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ· λέγεται δὲ ὡς ὑπὸ Ἀγαμέμνονος ἐποιήθη. ἔστι δὲ καὶ μνῆμα Κινάδου· νεὼς τῆς Μενελάου καὶ οὗτος κυβερνήτης ἦν.

English Translation

In this land there is also a sanctuary of Asclepius, distant approximately fifty stades from Asopus; the place where the sanctuary of Asclepius stands is called Hyperteleatum. A headland projecting into the sea lies two hundred stades from Asopus, and they call this promontory "Onugnathus" ("Donkey's Jaw"). Here there is a temple of Athena, but it has neither statue nor roof; it is said that it was built by Agamemnon. There is also a tomb of Cinadus here, who was likewise a pilot of Menelaus' ship.
