Greek Text

μετὰ δὲ τὰς εἰκόνας τῶν ἐπωνύμων ἐστὶν ἀγάλματα θεῶν, Ἀμφιάραος καὶ Εἰρήνη φέρουσα Πλοῦτον παῖδα. ἐνταῦθα Λυκοῦργός τε κεῖται χαλκοῦς ὁ Λυκόφρονος καὶ Καλλίας, ὃς πρὸς Ἀρταξέρξην τὸν Ξέρξου τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ὡς Ἀθηναίων οἱ πολλοὶ λέγουσιν, ἔπραξε τὴν εἰρήνην· ἔστι δὲ καὶ Δημοσθένης, ὃν ἐς Καλαυρείαν Ἀθηναῖοι τὴν πρὸ Τροιζῆνος νῆσον ἠνάγκασαν ἀποχωρῆσαι, δεξάμενοι δὲ ὕστερον διώκουσιν αὖθις μετὰ τὴν ἐν Λαμίᾳ πληγήν.

English Translation

After the statues of the eponymous heroes are images of gods: Amphiaraus and Peace carrying the child Plutus. Here too is set up in bronze Lycurgus, son of Lycophron, and Callias, who, according to most Athenians, negotiated peace with Artaxerxes, son of Xerxes, on behalf of the Greeks. There is also Demosthenes, whom the Athenians forced to withdraw to Calaureia, an island off Troezen, only later to welcome him back, pursuing him once more after the defeat at Lamia.
