Uti sunt porticus Pompeianae, itemque Athenis porticus Eumeniae Patrisque Liberi fanum et exeuntibus e theatro sinistra parte odeum, quod Themistocles columnis lapideis dispositis navium malis et antemnis e spoliis Persicis pertexit (idem autem etiam incensum Mithridatico bello rex Ariobarzanes restituit); Smyrnae Stratoniceum; Trallibus porticus ex utraque parte, ut scaenae, supra stadium; ceterisque civitatibus, quae diligentiores habuerunt architectos, circa theatra sunt porticus et ambulationes.
At Rome there are the Colonnades of Pompey; at Athens there are the Colonnades of Eumenes, the Temple of Bacchus, and as you leave the theatre, on the left-hand side there is the Odeum. This Themistocles planned with stone columns and completed with masts and yards from the Persian spoils. It was burnt in the Mithridatic War and King Ariobarzanes restored it. At Smyrna is the Colonnade of Stratonice. At Tralles there are colonnades above the stadium on either side, like those of a theatre. In other cities also which have had skilful architects there are colonnades and walks adjoining the theatres.
