Greek Text

καὶ Ἀπόλλωνος ναὸς ἐν τῇ Βοιατῶν ἀγορᾷ ἐστι καὶ ἑτέρωθι Ἀσκληπιοῦ καὶ Σαράπιδός τε καὶ Ἴσιδος. Ἤτιδος δʼ ἐρείπια ἀπέχει μὲν Βοιῶν οὐ πλέον ἢ σταδίους ἑπτά· ἰόντι δὲ ἐς αὐτὰ ἄγαλμα Ἑρμοῦ λίθινον ἕστηκεν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐρειπίοις ἱερὸν Ἀσκληπιοῦ καὶ Ὑγείας ἐστὶν οὐκ ἀφανές.

English Translation

In the marketplace of the Boeatae there is a temple of Apollo, and elsewhere are those of Asclepius, Sarapis, and Isis. The ruins of Etis lie not more than seven stadia away from Boeae. As one travels toward them, a stone statue of Hermes stands on the left-hand side, and among these ruins there is a sanctuary of Asclepius and Hygieia clearly visible.
