Greek Text

ἐνταῦθα ἱερόν ἐστιν Ἀθηνᾶς ἐπίκλησιν Κορυφασίας καὶ οἶκος καλούμενος Νέστορος· ἐν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ ὁ Νέστωρ γέγραπται· καὶ μνῆμα ἐντὸς τῆς πόλεώς ἐστιν αὐτῷ, τὸ δὲ ὀλίγον ἀπωτέρω τῆς Πύλου Θρασυμήδους φασὶν εἶναι. καὶ σπήλαιόν ἐστιν ἐντὸς τῆς πόλεως· βοῦς δὲ ἐνταῦθα τὰς Νέστορος καὶ ἔτι πρότερον Νηλέως φασὶν αὐλίζεσθαι.

English Translation

Here there is a sanctuary of Athena surnamed Koryphasia, and a house said to belong to Nestor. Inside it, Nestor himself has been depicted. In the city there is also a tomb attributed to him, while outside, a short distance from Pylos, they say there is the tomb of Thrasymedes. Within the city there is moreover a cave, where, they report, Nestor's cattle were stalled, and even before him, those of Neleus.
