Greek Text

τὰς θύρας δὲ ἐσιόντι τὰς χαλκᾶς, ἔστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ πρὸ τοῦ κίονος Ἴφιτος ὑπὸ γυναικὸς στεφανούμενος Ἐκεχειρίας, ὡς τὸ ἐλεγεῖον τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς φησιν. ἑστήκασι δὲ καὶ ἐντὸς τοῦ ναοῦ κίονες, καὶ στοαί τε ἔνδον ὑπερῷοι καὶ πρόσοδος διʼ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὸ ἄγαλμά ἐστι. πεποίηται δὲ καὶ ἄνοδος ἐπὶ τὸν ὄροφον σκολιά.

English Translation

Upon entering the bronze doors, on the right-hand side before the column is Iphitos being crowned by a woman named Ekecheiria (Truce), as the elegiac verses upon them state. Columns also stand within the temple, and there are inner colonnades with upper floors, through which there is a passage leading to the statue. There is also a winding stairway constructed, ascending to the roof.
