Passage 7.5.4
Ἴωσι δὲ ἔχει μὲν ἐπιτηδειότατα ὡρῶν κράσεως ἡ χώρα, ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἱερὰ οἷα οὐχ ἑτέρωθι, πρῶτον μὲν τὸ τῆς Ἐφεσίας μεγέθους τε ἕνεκα καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἄλλῳ πλούτῳ, δύο δὲ οὐκ ἐξειργασμένα Ἀπόλλωνος, τό τε ἐν Βραγχίδαις τῆς Μιλησίας καὶ ἐν Κλάρῳ τῇ Κολοφωνίων. δύο δὲ ἄλλους ἐν Ἰωνίᾳ ναοὺς ἐπέλαβεν ὑπὸ Περσῶν κατακαυθῆναι, τόν τε ἐν Σάμῳ τῆς Ἥρας καὶ ἐν Φωκαίᾳ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς· θαῦμα δὲ ὅμως ἦσαν καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ πυρὸς λελυμασμένοι.
The land of Ionia possesses an exceedingly favorable balance of seasons, and it also has sanctuaries such as are nowhere else found: first, the temple of the Ephesian goddess, noted for its size and its overall wealth. There are also two sanctuaries dedicated to Apollo, both unfinished, that at Branchidae in Milesian territory and that at Clarus in Colophonian lands. Two other temples in Ionia were burned down by the Persians, the sanctuary of Hera at Samos and that of Athena at Phocaea. Nevertheless, even devastated by fire, these temples remained objects of wonder.
