Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ἱππικοῦ δὲ ἡγεμόνας ἀναβεβηκότας ἐπὶ ἵππους Φεραῖοι παρὰ τῷ Ἀπόλλωνι ἔστησαν τρεψάμενοι τὴν Ἀττικὴν ἵππον. τὸν δὲ φοίνικα ἀνέθεσαν Ἀθηναῖοι τὸν χαλκοῦν, καὶ αὐτὸν καὶ Ἀθηνᾶς ἄγαλμα ἐπίχρυσον ἐπὶ τῷ φοίνικι, ἀπὸ ἔργων ὧν ἐπʼ Εὐρυμέδοντι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ τῇ αὐτῇ τὸ μὲν πεζῇ, τὸ δὲ ναυσὶν ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ κατώρθωσαν. τούτου τοῦ ἀγάλματος ἐνιαχοῦ τὸν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ χρυσὸν ἐθεώμην λελυμασμένον.

English Translation

The commanders of the cavalry, mounted upon their horses, were set up by the Pheraeans next to the temple of Apollo after their victory over the Athenian cavalry. And the Athenians dedicated the bronze palm-tree, along with a gilded statue of Athena standing upon it, as a memorial of the achievements they accomplished at the Eurymedon, when they succeeded on the same day both by land and with their fleet on the river. I myself observed that in various places the gold on that statue had been damaged.
