Greek Text

Λεβεδίοις δὲ ἐποίησε μὲν Λυσίμαχος ἀνάστατον τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα δὴ συντέλεια ἐς μέγεθος τῇ Ἐφέσῳ γένοιτο· χώρα δέ σφισιν ἔς τε τὰ λοιπά ἐστιν εὐδαίμων καὶ λουτρὰ παρέχεται θερμὰ πλεῖστα τῶν ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἥδιστα. τὸ δὲ ἐξ ἀρχῆς καὶ τὴν Λέβεδον ἐνέμοντο οἱ Κᾶρες, ἐς ὃ Ἀνδραίμων σφᾶς ὁ Κόδρου καὶ Ἴωνες ἐλαύνουσι. τῷ δὲ Ἀνδραίμονι ὁ τάφος ἐκ Κολοφῶνος ἰόντι ἐστὶν ἐν ἀριστερᾷ τῆς ὁδοῦ, διαβάντι τὸν Καλάοντα ποταμόν.

English Translation

As for Lebedos, Lysimachus destroyed the city, compelling its inhabitants to leave, so that Ephesus might increase in size by the consolidation. Yet the land remaining to them is prosperous in other respects, and provides hot springs in greater number and of greater pleasantness than any others on the coast. At the beginning, the Carians inhabited Lebedos, until Andraemon, son of Codrus, and the Ionians expelled them. The tomb of Andraemon is situated to the left on the road from Colophon after crossing the Calaon river.
