"The Scythians next turned their attention to Egypt, but were met in Palestine by Psammeticus the Egyptian king, who by earnest entreaties supported by bribery managed to prevent further advance. They withdrew by way of Ascalon in Syria. The bulk of the army passed the town without doing any damage, but a small number of men got left behind and robbed the temple of Aphrodite Urania - the most ancient, i am told, of all the temples of this goddess. The one in Cyprus the Cyprians themselves admit was derived from it, the one in Cythera was built by the Phoenicians, who belong to this part of Syria. The Scythians who robbed the temple of Ascalon were punished by the goddess with the infliction of what is called the 'female disease', and their descendants still suffer from it. This is the reason the Scythians give for this mysterious complaint, and travellers to the country can see what it is like. The Scythians call those who suffer from it 'Enarees'."
