̔́εκτοι δʼ εἰσὶν οἱ ἔφοροι· τούτοις δʼ ἐποπτεύειν δέδοται τὰ πραττόμενα καὶ ἀναγγέλλειν λάθρᾳ τῷ βασιλεῖ συνεργοὺς ποιουμένοις τὰς ἑταίρας, τοῖς μὲν ἐν τῇ πόλει τὰς ἐν τῇ πόλει τοῖς δὲ ἐν στρατοπέδῳ τὰς αὐτόθι· καθίστανται δʼ οἱ ἄριστοι καὶ πιστότατοι.

> The sixth caste is that of the Ephori, or inspectors. They are intrusted with the superintendence of all that is going on, and it is their duty to report privately to the king. The city inspectors employ as their coadjutors the city courtesans; and the inspectors of the camp, the women who follow it. The best and the most faithful persons are appointed to the office of inspector.  
> — Hans Claude Hamilton & William Falconer 1854, The Geography of Strabo
