Historical Skeptical

Greek Text

Βαθυκλέους δὲ Μάγνητος, ὃς τὸν θρόνον ἐποίησε τοῦ Ἀμυκλαίου, ἀναθήματα ἐπʼ ἐξειργασμένῳ τῷ θρόνῳ Χάριτες καὶ ἄγαλμα δὲ Λευκοφρυήνης ἐστὶν Ἀρτέμιδος. ὅτου δὲ οὗτος ὁ Βαθυκλῆς μαθητὴς ἐγεγόνει καὶ τὸν θρόνον ἐφʼ ὅτου βασιλεύοντος Λακεδαιμονίων ἐποίησε, τάδε μὲν παρίημι, τὸν θρόνον δὲ εἶδόν τε καὶ τὰ ἐς αὐτὸν ὁποῖα ἦν γράψω.

English Translation

By Bathykles the Magnesian, who made the throne of the Amyclaean god, the offerings upon the decorated throne are figures of the Graces and an image of Artemis Leukophryene. But concerning to whom Bathykles had been a pupil, and who was king of the Lacedaemonians when he made the throne, these matters I omit; yet I have seen the throne itself, and I shall describe what I observed upon it.
