Passage 5.23.7
πλησίον δὲ τοῦ Ὑβλαίων ἀναθήματος βάθρον τε πεποίηται χαλκοῦν καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ Ζεύς· τοῦτον ὀκτὼ μάλιστα εἶναι ποδῶν καὶ δέκα εἰκάζομεν. οἵτινες δὲ αὐτὸν ἔδοσαν τῷ θεῷ καὶ ὧντινών ἐστιν ἔργον, ἐλεγεῖον γεγραμμένον σημαίνει· Κλειτόριοι τόδʼ ἄγαλμα θεῷ δεκάταν ἀνέθηκαν, πολλᾶν ἐκ πολίων χερσὶ βιασσάμενοι. † καιμετρειτ Ἀρίστων ἠδὲ Τελέστας αὐτοκασίγνητοι καλὰ Λάκωνες ἔθεν. τούτους οὐκ ἐς ἅπαν τὸ Ἑλληνικὸν ἐπιφανεῖς νομίζω γενέσθαι· εἶχον γὰρ ἄν τι καὶ Ἠλεῖοι περὶ αὐτῶν λέγειν, καὶ πλέονα ἔτι Λακεδαιμόνιοι πολιτῶν γε ὄντων.
Near the dedication by the Hyblaeans stands a pedestal made of bronze, and upon it Zeus; this figure we estimate to be about eighteen feet high. Who gave the image to the god and whose craft fashioned it is indicated by an inscribed elegiac couplet: "This statue as a tithe to the god the Cleitorians dedicated, Having conquered many cities by force of arms. Ariston and Telestas, brothers born, noble Laconians, Skilfully wrought it." I do not think these craftsmen achieved fame throughout Greece; otherwise the Eleans would have much to say about them, and even more surely would the Lacedaemonians, since they were citizens.
