"Tὸ δὲ ἔλαιον τὸ ἐν τῇ Τιθορέων ἀποδεῖ μὲν πλήθει τοῦ τε Ἀττικοῦ καὶ τοῦ Σικυωνίου, χρόᾳ δὲ ὑπερβάλλει καὶ ἡδονῇ Ἰβηρικὸν καὶ τὸ ἐκ τῆς νήσου τῆς Ἰστρίας' καὶ μύρα τε ἀπ' αὐτοῦ παντοῖα ἑψοῦσι καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον ὡς βασιλέα ἄγουσιν." (Ελλάδος περιήγησις, Φωκικά.19)
The oil production of Tithorea is less in quantity than that of the region of Attica and Sikyon, but the colour and the flavour are better and the Iberian and that of the island of Istria. With this they make various kinds of myrrh and send them to the Emperor.
