Passage 7.23.5
Αἰγίου δὲ τὴν χώραν διέξεισι μὲν ποταμὸς Φοῖνιξ, διέξεισι δὲ καὶ ἕτερος Μειγανίτας, ἐς θάλασσαν ῥέοντες. στοὰ δὲ τῆς πόλεως πλησίον ἐποιήθη Στράτωνι ἀθλητῇ, Ὀλυμπίασιν ἐπὶ ἡμέρας τῆς αὐτῆς παγκρατίου καὶ πάλης ἀνελομένῳ νίκας. αὕτη μὲν ἐγγυμνάζεσθαι τούτῳ τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἐποιήθη· Αἰγιεῦσι δὲ Εἰλειθυίας ἱερόν ἐστιν ἀρχαῖον, καὶ ἡ Εἰλείθυια ἐς ἄκρους ἐκ κεφαλῆς τοὺς πόδας ὑφάσματι κεκάλυπται λεπτῷ, ξόανον πλὴν προσώπου τε καὶ χειρῶν ἄκρων καὶ ποδῶν, ταῦτα δὲ τοῦ
Through the territory of Aigion flows the river Phoenix, as also another river, the Meiganites; both rivers flow into the sea. Close to the city is a portico built in honor of Straton, an athlete who won victories in the pancration and wrestling contests at Olympia on the same day. This portico was constructed to serve as a place of exercise for that man. The people of Aigion have an ancient sanctuary of Eileithyia; the image of Eileithyia is entirely covered from head to foot with a finely woven garment, the wooden statue concealed except for the face, the tips of the hands, and the feet.
