Passage 5.27.7
τάδε μὲν ἐς τοσοῦτο ἡμῖν δεδηλώσθω· ἔστι δὲ ἐν τοῖς ἀναθήμασι τούτοις καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Φόρμις ἀνδρὶ ἀνθεστηκὼς πολεμίῳ, καὶ ἐφεξῆς ἑτέρῳ καὶ τρίτῳ γε αὖθις μάχεται. γέγραπται δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις τὸν στρατιώτην μὲν τὸν μαχόμενον Φόρμιν εἶναι τὸν Μαινάλιον, τὸν δὲ ἀναθέντα Συρακόσιον Λυκόρταν· δῆλα δὲ ὡς οὗτος ὁ Λυκόρτας κατὰ φιλίαν ἀναθείη τοῦ Φόρμιδος. τὰ δὲ ἀναθήματα τοῦ Λυκόρτα καλεῖται Φόρμιδος καὶ ταῦτα ὑπὸ Ἑλλήνων.
Let these remarks suffice to clarify the matter. Among these dedications, Phormis himself is depicted standing against an enemy warrior, and immediately afterward he is shown battling a second, and yet again a third opponent. The inscription on these figures states that the soldier engaged in combat is Phormis of Maenalus, and that the dedicator is Lycurtas of Syracuse. Clearly, this Lycurtas set up the dedication out of friendship toward Phormis. Indeed, although the dedications were made by Lycurtas, even the Greeks themselves call them "the dedications of Phormis."
