Passage 8.41.3
εἰσὶ δὲ αἱ πηγαὶ τῆς Νέδας ἐν ὄρει τῷ Κεραυσίῳ· τοῦ Λυκαίου δὲ μοῖρά ἐστι. καθότι δὲ ἐγγύτατα ἡ Νέδα Φιγαλέων τῆς πόλεως γίνεται, κατὰ τοῦτο οἱ Φιγαλέων παῖδες ἀποκείρονται τῷ ποταμῷ τὰς κόμας· τὰ δὲ πρὸς θαλάσσῃ καὶ ἀναπλεῖται ναυσὶν οὐ μεγάλαις ἡ Νέδα. ποταμῶν δὲ ὁπόσους ἴσμεν Μαίανδρος μὲν σκολιῷ μάλιστα κάτεισι τῷ ῥεύματι, ἔς τε τὸ ἄνω καμπὰς καὶ αὖθις ἐπιστροφὰς παρεχόμενος πλείστας· δεύτερα δὲ ἑλιγμῶν γε ἕνεκα φέροιτο ἂν ἡ Νέδα.
The springs of the Neda are located on Mount Kerausion, which is part of Lykaion. Because the Neda flows very close to the city of Phigaleia, the youths of Phigaleia cut their hair in honour of the river. Near the sea, the Neda is navigable by small vessels. Among all rivers we know, the Maeander has by far the most winding course, with many bends and frequent twists that turn back upon themselves; second to the Maeander in meandering flows the Neda.
