[7] περίκειται δὲ τῇ λίμνῃ τῇ Κολόῃ τὰ μνήματα τῶν βασιλέων: πρὸς δὲ ταῖς Σάρδεσιν ἔστι τὸ τοῦ Ἀλυάττου ἐπὶ κρηπῖδος ὑψηλῆς χῶμα μέγα, ἐργασθέν, ὥς φησιν Ἡρόδοτος, ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῆς πόλεως, οὗ τὸ πλεῖστον ἔργον αἱ παιδίσκαι συνετέλεσαν: λέγει δ᾽ ἐκεῖνος καὶ [p. 877] πορνεύεσθαι πάσας: τινὲς δὲ καὶ πόρνης μνῆμα λέγουσι τὸν τάφον. χειροποίητον δὲ τὴν λίμνην ἔνιοι ἱστοροῦσι τὴν Κολόην πρὸς τὰς ἐκδοχὰς τῶν πλημμυρίδων, αἳ συμβαίνουσι τῶν ποταμῶν πληρουμένων. Ὕπαιπα δὲ πόλις ἐστὶ καταβαίνουσιν ἀπὸ τοῦ Τμώλου πρὸς τὸ τοῦ Καΰστρου πεδίον.
