[edit]A substantial portion of this article is copied directly, with minor changes of wording but without any specific citation or general acknowledgement, from the article on the Ptoion by Martin Fell in Der Neue Pauly (English translation in Brill's New Pauly), available online from Brill but behind a paywall (English / German). Examples:
- Fell: "After dying out completely, the festival was revived in the early Imperial period as Πτώια καὶ Καισάρεια/Ptṓia kaì Kaisáreia, and the games were celebrated until the early 3rd cent. AD. In the Byzantine period, the site of the sanctuary was taken over by the monastery of Hagia Pelagia, which was relocated to the summit during the period of Turkish rule."
- This article: "The festival later lapsed, but was revived under the Julio-Claudian Emperors as the Ptoia and Caesarea (Πτώϊα καὶ Καισάρεια) and continued to be celebrated until the beginning of the third century AD. In Byzantine times the sanctuary was replaced by a Christian monastery, called Agia Pelagia, which relocated to the summit of Mount Ptoios during the Ottoman period."
- Fell: "The sanctuary of Apollo Ptoios is laid out on three terraces. The site was topped with a Doric peripteros with 8 × 13 columns (late 4th cent. on the foundations of an Archaic temple), and the oracle venue was in the grotto of the spring to the east ... The transregional significance of the sanctuary in the Archaic period at least is apparent from the large numbers of kouroi and tripods."
- This article: "The sanctuary of Apollo lay on three terraces, supporting a Doric peripteral Temple with eight columns on the short sides (12 m long) and thirteen on the long sides (25 m long), which was built at the end of the fourth century on top of the foundations of an Archaic temple. The actual oracle was located in a watery grotto to the east. The extra-regional importance of the oracle is shown by the large number of votive offerings."
See WP:PARAPHRASE. This really needs a thorough rewrite, but at the very least Fell should be credited. -- Choliamb (talk) 15:48, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
