c. Ἀριστόδημος γράφει ἀντὶ τοῦ Ἆλιν Ἄλτιν· οὕτω γὰρ τὸν περὶ Ὀλυμπίαν τόπον καλεῖσθαι, καὶ τὸν Δία ἐξ ἐπιθέτου Ἄλτιον. | μὴ γὰρ λόγον ἔχειν τὴν ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ πεπορθημένην Ἦλιν ἱερὰν καὶ καθαρὰν ποιῆσαι. ἀλλὰ μηδὲ ἱερὸν εἶναι Διὸς ἐν Ἤλιδι, ἀλλ᾿ ἐν Πίσῃ. ἀπῳκίσθαι δὲ τὴν Πίσαν τῆς Ὀλυμπίας σταδίους ἕξ. Δίδυμος δὲ κατὰ χώραν ἐῶν τὴν γραφὴν τὸν Πίνδαρον τὴν Πίσαν Ἦλιν λέγειν φησίν· οἱ γὰρ Ἠλεῖοι ὑφ᾿ ἑαυτοὺς ποιησάμενοι τοὺς Πισαιάτας Ἦλιν τὴν Πίσαν μετωνόμασαν. εἰ οὖν ἡ Πίσα μετέβαλε, τί ἂν εἴη ἐμποδὼν γράφειν Ἆλιν; καὶ Καλλίμαχος δὲ τὴν Ἦλιν Διὸς οἰκίον εἶπεν ἀντὶ τοῦ Πίσαν (fr. 198)· Ἦλιν ἀνάσσεσθαι Διὸς οἰκίον ἔλλιπε Φυλεῖ· ἱερὰν δὲ τὴν Ἦλιν ἀντὶ τοῦ Πίσαν. | καὶ τὸν ἐν Πίσῃ δὲ Δία Ἠλεῖον εἶπε Καλλίμαχος (fr. 99)· Ἄλιος ὁ Ζεύς.
