Passage 3.24.9
πρὸς θαλάσσῃ δὲ ἐπὶ ἄκρας ναός ἐστι Δικτύννης Ἀρτέμιδος, καί οἱ κατὰ ἔτος ἕκαστον ἑορτὴν ἄγουσι. ταύτης δὲ ἐν ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ἄκρας ποταμὸς ἐκδίδωσιν ἐς θάλασσαν Σμῆνος, ὕδωρ πιεῖν ἡδὺ εἴπερ ἄλλος τις παρασχόμενος ποταμός· ἔχει δὲ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Ταϋγέτῳ τὰς πηγάς, ἀπέχει δὲ τῆς πόλεως σταδίους οὐ πλέον πέντε.
By the sea, upon a promontory, is a temple dedicated to Artemis Diktynna, where they hold a festival every year. On the left side of this headland, the river Smenos flows out into the sea. Its water is sweeter to drink than that provided by almost any other river. It has its sources upon Mount Taygetos, and lies not more than five stades from the city.
