Passage 3.24.3
Βρασιαὶ δὲ ἐσχάτη μὲν ταύτῃ τῶν Ἐλευθερολακώνων πρὸς θαλάσσῃ ἐστί, Κυφάντων δὲ ἀπέχουσι πλοῦν σταδίων διακοσίων. οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι λέγουσιν οἱ ἐνταῦθα, οὐδέσιν ὁμολογοῦντες Ἑλλήνων, ὡς Σεμέλη τέκοι τὸν παῖδα ἐκ Διὸς καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ Κάδμου φωραθεῖσα ἐς λάρνακα αὐτὴ καὶ Διόνυσος ἐμβληθείη· καὶ τὴν λάρνακα ὑπὸ τοῦ κλύδωνος ἐκπεσεῖν φασιν ἐς τὴν σφετέραν, καὶ Σεμέλην μὲν---οὐ γὰρ αὐτὴν περιοῦσαν ἔτι εὑρεῖν---ἐπιφανῶς θάψαι, Διόνυσον δὲ ἀναθρέψαι λέγουσιν.
Brasiae is the last city toward the sea in this direction belonging to the Eleutherolakonians; it is situated two hundred stadia by sea from Cyphanta. The inhabitants here recount a tradition not endorsed by any other Greeks, that Semele bore a child by Zeus, and having been discovered by Cadmus, both she and Dionysus were cast into a chest. They say this chest, carried away by the waves, washed ashore in their territory. Semele, having already died and no longer living when they found her, was buried honourably, while Dionysus, they say, was brought up by them.
