Passage 5.25.13
τῷ δὲ ἀναθήματι τῷ ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν Θασίων ἔπεστιν ἐλεγεῖον· υἱὸς μέν με Μίκωνος Ὀνάτας ἐξετέλεσσεν αὐτὸς ἐν Αἰγίνῃ δώματα ναιετάων. τὸν δὲ Ὀνάταν τοῦτον ὅμως, καὶ τέχνης ἐς τὰ ἀγάλματα ὄντα Αἰγιναίας, οὐδενὸς ὕστερον θήσομεν τῶν ἀπὸ Δαιδάλου τε καὶ ἐργαστηρίου τοῦ Ἀττικοῦ.
On the dedication of the Thasians at Olympia there is an elegiac couplet inscribed: "Onatas himself, son of Mikon, fashioned me, dwelling in Aegina within his house." Yet, though this Onatas belonged to the school of Aeginetan sculpture, I would place him second to none among artists since Daedalus and the Attic workshop.
