ἐρχομένῳ δὲ ἐς τὴν κάτω πόλιν Μητρὸς Δινδυμήνης ἐστὶν ἱερόν, ἐν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ Ἄττης ἔχει τιμάς. τούτου μὲν δὴ τὸ ἄγαλμα οὐδὲν ἀποφαίνουσι: τὸ δὲ τῆς Μητρὸς λίθου πεποίηται. ἔστι δὲ ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ Διὸς ναὸς Ὀλυμπίου, αὐτός τε ἐπὶ θρόνου καὶ ἑστῶσα Ἀθηνᾶ παρὰ τὸν θρόνον, τῆς τε Ἥρας ἄγαλμα τοῦ Ὀλυμπίου πέραν ἱερόν τε Ἀπόλλωνος πεποίηται καὶ Ἀπόλλων χαλκοῦς, γυμνὸς ἐσθῆτος: ὑποδήματα δὲ ὑπὸ τοῖς ποσίν ἐστιν αὐτῷ, καὶ τῷ ἑτέρῳ ποδὶ ἐπὶ κρανίου βέβηκε βοός.
