§6.16.1Κάπρῳ μὲν δὴ οὐκ ἄνευ μεγάλων πόνων καὶ ἰσχυρᾶς ταλαιπωρίας ἐγένοντο αἱ νῖκαι· εἰσὶ δὲ εἰκόνες ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ καὶ Ἀναυχίδᾳ καὶ Φερενίκῳ, γένος μὲν Ἠλείοις, πάλης δὲ ἐν παισὶν ἀνελομένοις στεφάνους.
To Caprus indeed, not without great labors and severe hardship did the victories come; and there are statues in Olympia of Anauchidas and Pherenicus, Eleans by birth, who won crowns in the boys' wrestling.
Πλείσταινον δὲ τὸν Εὐρυδάμου τοῦ ἐναντία Γαλατῶν στρατηγήσαντος Αἰτωλοῖς Θεσπιεῖς εἰσιν οἱ ἀναθέντες.
As for Pleistainus, the son of Eurydamus who commanded the Aetolians against the Galatians, it was the Thespians who dedicated it.
§6.16.2Τυδεὺς δὲ Ἠλεῖος Ἀντίγονόν τε τὸν Δημητρίου πατέρα καὶ Σέλευκον ἀνέθηκε· Σελεύκου δὲ ἐς ἅπαντας ἤρθη τὸ ὄνομα ἀνθρώπους ἄλλων τε ἕνεκα καὶ διὰ τὴν Δημητρίου μάλιστα ἅλωσιν.
Tydeus the Elean dedicated Antigonus, the father of Demetrius, and Seleucus; and the name of Seleucus was raised among all men both for other reasons and especially because of the capture of Demetrius.
Τίμωνι δὲ ἀγώνων τε νῖκαι τῶν ἐν Ἕλλησιν ὑπάρχουσιν ἐπὶ πεντάθλῳ πλὴν τοῦ Ἰσθμικοῦ—τούτου δὲ μὴ ἀγωνιστὴς γενέσθαι κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ Ἠλείοις τοῖς ἄλλοις εἴργετο —καὶ τάδε ἄλλα φησὶ τὸ ἐς αὐτὸν ἐπίγραμμα, Αἰτωλοῖς αὐτὸν ἐπιστρατείας μετασχεῖν ἐπὶ Θεσσαλοὺς καὶ φρουρᾶς ἡγεμόνα ἐν Ναυπάκτῳ φιλίᾳ γενέσθαι τῇ ἐς Αἰτωλούς.
To Timon there belong victories in the pentathlon in the games among the Greeks, except for the Isthmian—from becoming a competitor in this, he was excluded just like the other Eleans—and the inscription upon him says these other things: that he took part with the Aetolians in their expedition against the Thessalians, and became commander of the garrison at Naupactus because of his friendship toward the Aetolians.
§6.16.3Τίμωνος δὲ οὐ πόρρω τῆς εἰκόνος Ἑλλάς τε δὴ καὶ Ἦλις παρὰ τὴν Ἑλλάδα, ἡ μὲν Ἀντίγονον τὸν ἐπιτροπεύσαντα Φιλίππου τοῦ Δημητρίου, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ τῶν χειρῶν τὸν Φίλιππον στεφανοῦσα αὐτόν, ἡ δὲ Ἦλις Δημήτριον τὸν στρατεύσαντα ἐπὶ Σέλευκον καὶ Πτολεμαῖον τὸν Λάγου στεφανοῦσά ἐστιν.
Not far from the statue of Timon stand Hellas and, beside Hellas, Elis; the former crowning Antigonus, who was guardian of Philip the son of Demetrius, and with her other hand crowning Philip himself, while Elis is crowning Demetrius, who marched against Seleucus, and Ptolemy, the son of Lagus.
§6.16.4Ἀριστείδῃ δὲ Ἠλείῳ γενέσθαι μὲν ὅπλου νίκην ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ, γενέσθαι δὲ καὶ διαύλου Πυθοῖ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ δηλοῖ Νεμείων τε ἐν παισὶν ἐπὶ τῷ ἱππίῳ δρόμῳ.
To Aristides the Elean, that there came a victory in the race in armor at Olympia, and also a victory in the double-stade at Pytho, and at the Nemean games among the boys in the horse-stade race, the inscription upon him reveals.
δρόμου δέ εἰσι τοῦ ἱππίου μῆκος μὲν δίαυλοι δύο, ἐκλειφθέντα δὲ ἐκ Νεμείων τε καὶ Ἰσθμίων αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἀδριανὸς ἐς Νεμείων ἀγῶνα τῶν χειμερινῶν ἀπέδωκεν Ἀργείοις.
Now the length of the horse-stade race is two double-stades, and although it had been omitted from the Nemean and Isthmian games, the Emperor Hadrian restored it to the Argives for the winter Nemean games.
§6.16.5τοῦ δὲ Ἀριστείδου ἐγγύτατα Μενάλκης ἕστηκεν Ἠλεῖος, ἀναγορευθεὶς Ὀλυμπίασιν ἐπὶ πεντάθλῳ, καὶ Φιλωνίδης Ζώτου, γένος μὲν ἐκ Χερρονήσου τῆς Κρητῶν, Ἀλεξάνδρου δὲ ἡμεροδρόμος τοῦ Φιλίππου.
Very close to Aristides stands Menalces of Elis, proclaimed at Olympia for the pentathlon, and Philonides, son of Zotus, by birth from Cherronesus of Crete, who was the courier of Alexander, the son of Philip.
μετὰ δὲ τοῦτον Βριμίας ἐστὶν Ἠλεῖος, κρατήσας ἄνδρας πυγμῇ, Λεωνίδας τε ἐκ Νάξου τῆς ἐν τῷ Αἰγαίῳ, Ψωφιδίων ἀνάθημα Ἀρκάδων, Ἀσάμωνός τε εἰκὼν ἐν ἀνδράσι πυγμῇ νενικηκότος, ἡ δὲ Νικάνδρου, διαύλου μὲν δύο ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ, Νεμείων δὲ καὶ Ἰσθμίων ἀναμὶξ ἐπὶ δρόμῳ νίκας ἓξ ἀνῃρημένου.
After him is Brimias of Elis, who conquered the men in boxing, and Leonidas from Naxos in the Aegean, a dedication of the Psophidians of Arcadia, and the statue of Asamon, who conquered in the men's boxing, and that of Nicander, who won two victories in the double-stade at Olympia, and six victories in the foot-race at the Nemean and Isthmian games mixed together.
ὁ δὲ Ἀσάμων καὶ ὁ Νίκανδρος Ἠλεῖοι μὲν ἦσαν, πεποίηκε δὲ τῷ μὲν Δάιππος τὴν εἰκόνα, Ἀσάμωνι δὲ Πυριλάμπης Μεσσήνιος.
Now Asamon and Nicander were Eleans; Daippus made the statue for Nicander, and Pyrilampes of Messene for Asamon.
§6.16.6Εὐαλκίδᾳ δὲ Ἠλείῳ καὶ Σελεάδᾳ Λακεδαιμονίῳ, τῷ μὲν ἐν παισὶν ἐγένοντο πυγμῆς νῖκαι, Σελεάδᾳ δὲ ἀνδρῶν πάλης.
To Eualcidas the Elean and Seleadas the Lacedaemonian, to the former came victories in the boys' boxing, and to Seleadas in the men's wrestling.
ἐνταῦθα καὶ ἅρμα οὐ μέγα ἀνάκειται Πολυπείθους Λάκωνος καὶ ἐπὶ στήλης τῆς αὐτῆς Καλλιτέλης ὁ τοῦ Πολυπείθους πατήρ, παλαιστὴς ἀνήρ· νῖκαι δέ σφισι τῷ μὲν ἵπποις, Καλλιτέλει δὲ παλαίσαντί εἰσιν.
Here is also dedicated a small chariot of Polypeithes the Laconian, and on the same pillar Calliteles, the father of Polypeithes, a wrestler; and they had victories, the former in the horse-race, and Calliteles in wrestling.
§6.16.7ἰδιώτας δὲ ἄνδρας Ἠλείους Λάμπον Ἀρνίσκου καὶ Ἀριστάρχου Ψωφίδιοι προξένους ὄντας σφίσιν ἀνέθεσαν ἢ καὶ ἄλλην τινὰ ἐς αὐτοὺς ἔχοντας εὔνοιαν· μέσος δὲ ἕστηκεν αὐτῶν Λύσιππος Ἠλεῖος καταπαλαίσας τοὺς ἐσελθόντας τῶν παίδων, Ἀνδρέας δὲ Ἀργεῖος ἐποίησε τοῦ Λυσίππου τὴν εἰκόνα.
And the Psophidians dedicated ordinary Elean men, Lampon, son of Arniscus, and Aristarchus, because they were their proxenoi, or perhaps also because they had some other goodwill toward them; and in the middle of them stands Lysippus the Elean, who wrestled down those of the boys who entered, and Andreas the Argive made the statue of Lysippus.
§6.16.8Λακεδαιμονίῳ δὲ Δεινοσθένει σταδίου τε ἐγένετο ἐν ἀνδράσιν Ὀλυμπικὴ νίκη καὶ στήλην ἐν τῇ Ἄλτει παρὰ τὸν ἀνδριάντα ἀνέθηκεν ὁ Δεινοσθένης· ὁδοῦ δὲ τῆς ἐς Λακεδαίμονα ἐξ Ὀλυμπίας ἐπὶ ἑτέραν στήλην τὴν ἐν Λακεδαίμονι μέτρα φησὶν εἶναι σταδίους ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἑξακοσίους.
To Deinosthenes the Lacedaemonian there came an Olympic victory in the men's stade-race, and Deinosthenes dedicated a pillar in the Altis beside his statue; and it says that the distance of the road to Lacedaemon from Olympia to the other pillar in Lacedaemon is six hundred and sixty stades.
Θεόδωρον δὲ λαβόντα ἐπὶ πεντάθλῳ νίκην καὶ Πύτταλον Λάμπιδος πυγμῇ παῖδας κρατήσαντα καὶ Νεολαΐδαν σταδίου τε ἀνελόμενον καὶ ὅπλου στέφανον, Ἠλείους σφᾶς ὄντας ἴστω τις·
And as for Theodoron, who won a victory in the pentathlon, and Pyttalus, son of Lampis, who conquered the boys in boxing, and Neolaidas, who carried off the crown for both the stade-race and the race in armor, let one know that they were Eleans.
ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ Πυττάλῳ καὶ τάδε ἔτι λέγουσιν, ὡς γενομένης πρὸς Ἀρκάδας Ἠλείοις ἀμφισβητήσεως περὶ γῆς ὅρων εἶπεν οὗτος ὁ Πύτταλος τὴν δίκην· ὁ δέ οἱ ἀνδριὰς ἔργον ἐστὶν Ὀλυνθίου Σθέννιδος.
And concerning Pyttalus they say this further, that when a dispute arose between the Eleans and the Arcadians about the boundaries of land, this Pyttalus pronounced the judgment; and his statue is the work of Sthennis of Olynthus.
§6.16.9ἐφεξῆς δὲ Πτολεμαῖός τέ ἐστιν ἀναβεβηκὼς ἵππον καὶ παρʼ αὐτὸν Ἠλεῖος ἀθλητὴς Παιάνιος ὁ Δαματρίου πάλης τε ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ καὶ τὰς δύο Πυθικὰς ἀνῃρημένος νίκας.
And next is Ptolemy mounted on a horse, and beside him the Elean athlete Paeanius, son of Damatrius, who won the wrestling at Olympia and the two Pythian victories.
Κλεάρετός τέ ἐστιν Ἠλεῖος πεντάθλου λαβὼν στέφανον καὶ ἅρμα ἀνδρὸς Ἀθηναίου Γλαύκωνος τοῦ Ἐτεοκλέους· ἀνηγορεύθη δὲ ὁ Γλαύκων οὗτος ἐπὶ ἅρματος τελείου δρόμῳ.
And there is Clearetus the Elean, who won the crown in the pentathlon, and a chariot of an Athenian man, Glaucon, the son of Eteocles; this Glaucon was proclaimed for the race of a full-grown chariot.
