Translation
It was a spring in what is called Daphne,1 in which Apollo was said to be present and to give oracles, as a breeze and a breath arose from the water. From these [sounds] the people around the spring used to declare what the divinities were saying.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Κασταλία· πηγὴ ἦν ἐν τῇ καλουμένη Δάφνῃ· ἐν ᾗ ἐλέγετο παρεδρεύειν τὸν Ἀπόλλωνα καὶ χρησμολογεῖν, αὔρας καὶ πνοῆς ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος ἀναδιδομένης. ἐξ ὧν οἱ περὶ τὴν πηγὴν ἔλεγον, ἅπερ οἱ δαίμονες ἔλεγον.
