Greek Text

ἀπὸ τούτου στάδια τοῦ λιμένος πεντήκοντά ἐστι καὶ ἑκατὸν ἐπὶ Οἴτυλον· ὁ δὲ ἥρως ἀφʼ οὗ τῇ πόλει τὸ ὄνομα ἐγένετο, Ἀργεῖος τὸ ἀνέκαθεν, Ἀμφιάνακτος υἱὸς ὢν τοῦ Ἀντιμάχου. θέας δὲ ἄξια ἐν Οἰτύλῳ Σαράπιδός ἐστιν ἱερὸν καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ Καρνείου ξόανον Ἀπόλλωνος.

English Translation

From this harbor it is one hundred and fifty stades to Oitylos. The hero from whom the city received its name was originally an Argive, being the son of Amphianax, who was the son of Antimachos. Worth seeing at Oitylos are a sanctuary of Sarapis and, in the marketplace, a wooden image of Apollo Karneios.
