Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

Φενεάταις δὲ πρὸς τὸ Ἀχαϊκὸν τὸ ὅμορον οὐ καθʼ ἓν ὅροι τῆς γῆς εἰσιν, ἀλλὰ πρὸς μὲν Πελλήνην ὁ καλούμενος Πωρίνας, πρὸς δὲ τὴν Αἰγειρᾶτιν †τὸ ἐπʼ Ἄρτεμιν. ἐν δὲ αὐτῶν Φενεατῶν τῇ χώρᾳ μετὰ τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος τοῦ Πυθίου προήξεις τε οὐκ ἐπὶ πολὺ καὶ ἐντὸς ἔσῃ τῆς ὁδοῦ τῆς ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος ἀγούσης τὴν Κρᾶθιν.

English Translation

The Pheneatians do not share a common boundary line with the neighboring territory of Achaea. Instead, on the side toward Pellene is a place called Porinas, while toward Aegeira is the district called "to Artemis." Within the territory of the Pheneatians, shortly after passing the sanctuary of Apollo Pythios, if you proceed forward for only a short distance, you will find yourself within the road leading up the mountain to Krathis.
