Quotation
τὰ δὲ Μύλασα ἵδρυται ἐν πεδίῳ σφόδρα εὐδαίμονι: ὑπέρκειται δὲ κατὰ κορυφὴν ὄρος αὐτοῦ, λατόμιον λευκοῦ λίθου κάλλιστον ἔχον: τοῦτο μὲν οὖν ὄφελός ἐστιν οὐ μικρόν, τὴν λιθείαν πρὸς τὰς οἰκοδομίας ἄφθονον καὶ ἐγγύθεν ἔχον καὶ μάλιστα πρὸς τὰς τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλλων δημοσίων ἔργων κατασκευάς: τοιγάρτοι στοαῖς τε καὶ ναοῖς εἴ τις ἄλλη κεκόσμηται παγκάλως.
