Translation
The sanctuary of Apollo. It was thus named because the serpent Delphyne was found there, the one which Apollo killed.1 But [sc. it was also called] Pytho, because it rotted there.2
Also [sc. attested is] Delphis, [meaning] the Delphian [woman], the [priestess] of Apollo.
"For the Delphian voice prophesied thus, that I might become the monument and story of his bride."3
