Passage 5.26.5
τὰ δὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀναθήμασιν ἐπιγράμματα καὶ πατέρα Μικύθῳ Χοῖρον καὶ Ἑλληνίδας αὐτῷ πόλεις Ῥήγιόν τε πατρίδα καὶ τὴν ἐπὶ τῷ πορθμῷ Μεσσήνην δίδωσιν· οἰκεῖν δὲ τὰ μὲν ἐπιγράμματα ἐν Τεγέᾳ φησιν αὐτόν, τὰ δὲ ἀναθήματα ἀνέθηκεν ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν εὐχήν τινα ἐκτελῶν ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ παιδὸς νοσήσαντος νόσον φθινάδα.
The inscriptions upon the offerings name Choerus as the father of Mikythos, and they attribute to him the Greek cities of Rhegium, his homeland, and Messene by the strait. According to the inscriptions, Mikythos was then living in Tegea; the offerings he dedicated at Olympia were made in fulfillment of a vow he undertook for the recovery of his son from a wasting illness.
