Passage 3.11.6
Τισαμενῷ δὲ ὄντι Ἠλείῳ τῶν Ἰαμιδῶν λόγιον ἐγένετο ἀγῶνας ἀναιρήσεσθαι πέντε ἐπιφανεστάτους αὐτόν. οὕτω πένταθλον Ὀλυμπίασιν ἀσκήσας ἀπῆλθεν ἡττηθείς, καίτοι τὰ δύο γε ἦν πρῶτος· καὶ γὰρ δρόμῳ τε ἐκράτει καὶ πηδήματι Ἱερώνυμον τὸν Ἄνδριον. καταπαλαισθεὶς δὲ ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἁμαρτὼν τῆς νίκης συνίησι τοῦ χρησμοῦ, διδόναι οἱ τὸν θεὸν μαντευομένῳ πέντε ἀγῶνας πολέμῳ κρατῆσαι.
To Tisamenos of Elis, one of the Iamidae, an oracle came declaring that he would win five very illustrious contests. Accordingly, having trained for the pentathlon at Olympia, he departed defeated, although he had come first in two events. For he surpassed Hieronymos of Andros in running and jumping, yet when he had been defeated by him in wrestling and had lost the victory, he understood the prophecy: the god had granted him victory in five contests of warfare, not athletics.
