Μεδεὼν
δ’ ὁ μὲν Φωκικὸς ἐν τῷ Κρισαίῳ κόλπῳ, διέχων Βοιω-
τίας σταδίους ἑκατὸν ἑξήκοντα, ὁ δὲ Βοιωτιακὸς ἀπ’
ἐκείνου κέκληται, πλησίον δ’ ἐστὶν Ὀγχηστοῦ ὑπὸ τῷ
Φοινικίῳ ὄρει, ἀφ’ οὗ καὶ μετωνόμασται Φοινικίς· τῆς
δὲ Θηβαίας καὶ τοῦτο λέγεται, [ὑπ’ ἐνί]ων δὲ τῆς Ἁλι-
αρτίας καὶ Μεδεὼν καὶ Ὠκαλέα.
Translation:
The Phocian Medeon is on the Crisaean Gulf, at a distance of one hundred and sixty stadia from Boeotia, whereas the Boeotian Medeon, which was named after it, is near Onchestus at the base of the mountain Phoenicius; and from this fact its name has been changed to Phoenicis. This mountain is also called a part of the Theban territory; but by some both Medeon and Ocalea are called a part of the territory of Haliartus.
