Greek text · Dindorf 4:426

διόπερ ἐπαξίως ἡ ὑμετέρα “πόλις θεῶν ἀθανάτων ἵδρυμά τε καὶ οἰκητήριον ἂν “ἐπικαλοῖτο· πολλοῖς γοῦν παραδείγμασι καταφαίνεται “τῇ τῶν οὐρανίων θεῶν αὐτὴν ἐπιδημίᾳ ἀνθεῖν.

English · Claude translation

Therefore your city might worthily be called a seat and dwelling place of the immortal gods; at any rate, by many examples it appears that it flourishes through the presence of the heavenly gods.
