Passage 8.27.7
τῶν δὲ ἄλλων τῶν κατειλεγμένων πόλεων αἱ μὲν ἐς ἅπαν εἰσὶν ἐφʼ ἡμῶν ἔρημοι, τὰς δὲ ἔχουσιν οἱ Μεγαλοπολῖται κώμας, Γόρτυνα Διποί ν ας Θεισόαν τὴν πρὸς Ὀρχομενῷ Μεθύδριον Τεῦθιν Καλλιὰς Ἑλισσόντα· μόνη δὲ ἐξ αὐτῶν Παλλάντιον ἔμελλεν ἄρα ἠπιωτέρου πειρᾶσθαι καὶ τότε τοῦ δαίμονος. τοῖς δὲ Ἀλιφηρεῦσι παραμεμένηκεν ἐξ ἀρχῆς πόλιν σφᾶς καὶ ἐς τόδε νομίζεσθαι.
Of the other cities previously mentioned, some in our day are completely deserted, while others are occupied by the Megalopolitans as villages: Gortys, Dipoenae, Theisoa near Orchomenus, Methydrium, Teuthis, Calliae, and Helisson. Pallantium alone, among these cities, was evidently destined to experience even then a gentler fate from the deity. The Alipheraeans, however, have continued from the beginning down to this time to retain their city and their distinct identity.
