Passage 9.23.5
ἐντεῦθεν ἐς Ἀκραίφνιόν ἐστιν ὁδὸς τὰ πλείω πεδιάς. εἶναι δὲ ἐξ ἀρχῆς τε μοῖραν τῆς Θηβαΐδος τὴν πόλιν φασὶ καὶ ὕστερον διαπεσόντας Θηβαίων ἐς αὐτὴν ἄνδρας εὕρισκον, ἡνίκα Ἀλέξανδρος ἐποίει τὰς Θήβας ἀναστάτους· ὑπὸ δὲ ἀσθενείας καὶ γήρως οὐδὲ ἐς τὴν Ἀττικὴν ἀποσωθῆναι δυνηθέντες ἐνταῦθα ᾤκησαν. κεῖται μὲν τὸ πόλισμα ἐν ὄρει τῷ Πτώῳ, θέας δὲ ἄξια ἐνταῦθα Διονύσου ναός ἐστι καὶ ἄγαλμα.
From here the road to Akraiphion passes mostly through plains. It is said that this city was originally a part of the Theban territory, and later served as a refuge for certain Thebans who fled and took shelter within it at the time when Alexander destroyed Thebes. These men, unable due to weakness and old age even to make their way safely into Attica, made their homes here. The small city is situated upon Mount Ptōon; noteworthy among the sights here are a temple and statue of Dionysus.
