Κρήνη ἐν ἀκροπόλει ἡ Κλεψύδρα, ἧς Ἴστρος ἐν τῇ ιβ' μέμνηται, τὰ παρὰ τοῖς συγγραφεῦσιν ἀναλεγόμενος· οὕτως δὲ ὠνόμασται, ἐπειδὴ ἀρχομένων τῶν ἐτησίων πληροῦται, παυομένων δὲ λήγει, ὁμοίως τῷ Νείλῳ, ὥσπερ καὶ τὴν ἐν Δήλῳ κρήνην. Εἰς ταύτην δέ φησιν ᾑματωμένην φιάλην πεσοῦσαν ὀφθῆναι ἐν τῷ φαληρικῷ, ἀπέχοντι σταδίους εἴκοσι· φασὶ δὲ αὐτὴν ἀπέραντον βάθος ἔχειν, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ ἁλμυρόν.
