Passage 6.24.6
Ἠλείοις δὲ ἐν τῷ ὑπαίθρῳ τῆς ἀγορᾶς τὰ ἐπιφανέστατα ναός ἐστι καὶ ἄγαλμα Ἀπόλλωνος Ἀκεσίου· σημαίνοι δʼ ἂν τὸ ὄνομα οὐδέν τι ἀλλοῖον ἢ ὁ καλούμενος Ἀλεξίκακος ὑπὸ Ἀθηναίων. ἑτέρωθι δὲ Ἡλίῳ πεποίηται καὶ Σελήνῃ λίθου τὰ ἀγάλματα, καὶ τῆς μὲν κέρατα ἐκ τῆς κεφαλῆς, τοῦ δὲ αἱ ἀκτῖνες ἀνέχουσιν. ἔστι δὲ καὶ Χάρισιν ἱερὸν καὶ ξόανα ἐπίχρυσα τὰ ἐς ἐσθῆτα, πρόσωπα δὲ καὶ χεῖρες καὶ πόδες λίθου λευκοῦ· ἔχουσι δὲ ἡ μὲν αὐτῶν ῥόδον, ἀστράγαλον δὲ ἡ μέση, καὶ ἡ τρίτη κλῶνα οὐ μέγαν μυρσίνης.
In the open part of their market-place, the Eleans have as their most celebrated dedication a temple and image of Apollo Akesios. His appellation indicates nothing else than the deity whom the Athenians call Alexikakos ("Averter of Evil"). In another place are statues of Helios (Sun) and Selene (Moon), both made of stone. Selene has horns projecting from her head, and from Helios extend rays. There is also a sanctuary of the Graces, whose statues are wooden and covered with gilded garments, though their faces, hands, and feet are carved of white marble. One of them holds a rose, the central one an astragalus (knucklebone), and the third a sprig of myrtle that is not large.
