ἐπεὶ δὲ Ἠλεῖοι θύσειαν, ἔδει μὲν καὶ τοὺς ἁπάντων τῶν Ἑλλήνων θύειν θεωρούς, ὡς δὲ μὴ ἀργῶς ἡ πρόσοδος αὐτῶν γίγνοιτο, ἔτρεχον οἱ δρομεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ βωμοῦ στάδιον, οἷον καλοῦντες τὸ Ἑλληνικόν, καὶ πάλιν ἐς ταὐτὸν ὑπέστρεφον οἷον ἀγγέλλοντες, ὅτι δὴ ἀφίξοιτο ἡ Ἑλλὰς χαίρουσα· ταῦτα μὲν οὖν περὶ διαύλου.
