Greek Text

ἀνέθεσαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἐν Φαρσάλῳ Θεσσαλοὶ καὶ Μακεδόνων οἱ ὑπὸ τῇ Πιερίᾳ πόλιν Δῖον οἰκοῦντες Κυρηναῖοί τε τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ τοῦ ἐν Λιβύῃ, οὗτοι μὲν τὸ ἅρμα καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ἅρματι ἄγαλμα Ἄμμωνος, Μακεδόνες δὲ οἱ ἐν Δίῳ τὸν Ἀπόλλωνα ὃς εἰλημμένος ἐστὶ τῆς ἐλάφου, Φαρσάλιοι δὲ Ἀχιλλέα τε ἐπὶ ἵππῳ καὶ ὁ Πάτροκλος συμπαραθεῖ ν οἱ καὶ τῷ ἵππῳ. Κορίνθιοι δὲ οἱ Δωριεῖς ᾠκοδόμησαν θησαυρὸν καὶ οὗτοι·

English Translation

The Thessalians of Pharsalus and the Macedonians dwelling in the city of Dion beneath Pieria and the Cyrenaeans from the Greek colony in Libya also made dedications. The Cyrenaeans dedicated a chariot with an image of Ammon riding upon it; the Macedonians of Dion offered an Apollo who is depicted as grasping a deer; and the people of Pharsalus set up Achilles mounted upon a horse, with Patroclus standing beside Achilles and alongside the horse. The Dorian Corinthians, too, built a treasury.
