Historical Skeptical

Greek Text

Στράτωνος δὲ τούτου τρεῖς μὲν ἡλικίᾳ πρότερον, τοσοῦτοι δὲ ἄλλοι μετʼ αὐτόν εἰσι δῆλοι τὸν κότινον παγκρατίου τε ἆθλα εἰληφότες καὶ πάλης, Κάπρος μὲν ἐξ αὐτῆς Ἤλιδος, Ἑλλήνων δὲ τῶν πέραν Αἰγαίου Ῥόδιός τε Ἀριστομένης καὶ Μαγνήτων τῶν ἐπὶ Ληθαίῳ Πρωτοφάνης. οἱ δὲ ὕστερον τοῦ Στράτωνος Μαρίων τε πόλεως ἐκείνῳ τῆς αὐτῆς καὶ Στρατονικεὺς Ἀριστέας---τὰ δὲ παλαιότερα ἥ τε χώρα καὶ ἡ πόλις ἐκαλεῖτο Χρυσαορίς---, ἕβδομος δὲ Νικόστρατος ἐκ τῶν ἐπὶ θαλάσσῃ Κιλίκων, οὐδὲν τοῖς Κίλιξιν αὐτοῦ μετὸν εἰ μὴ ὅσα τῷ λόγῳ.

English Translation

Before this Straton, three competitors of an earlier age, as well as three others after him, are recorded to have won the crown of wild olive in both pankration and wrestling: Kapros from Elis itself, Aristomenes of Rhodes from among the Greeks beyond the Aegean, and Protophanes of Magnesia-on-the-Lethaios. The competitors after Straton were Marion, a fellow citizen from the same city, and Aristeas of Stratonikeia—though earlier the land and the city had been called Chrysaoris—and the seventh was Nikostratos from among the Cilicians by the sea; although these Cilicians share nothing with him except by name alone.
