Historical Non-skeptical

Greek Text

ταῦτα μὲν δὴ οὕτως ἔχοντα ἴστω τις· Ἠλείοις δὲ ἀνδράσιν Ἀγαθίνῳ τε τῷ Θρασυβούλου καὶ Τηλεμάχῳ, Τηλεμάχῳ μὲν ἐπὶ ἵππων νίκῃ γέγονεν ἡ εἰκών, Ἀγαθῖνον δὲ ἀνέθεσαν Ἀχαιοὶ Πελληνεῖς. ἀνέθηκε δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἀθηναίων δῆμος Ἀριστοφῶντα Λυσίνου, παγκρατιαστὰς ἐν τῷ ἀγῶνι τῷ ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ κρατήσαντα ἄνδρας.

English Translation

Now let this information suffice as it stands. As for statues honoring Elean men, there are those of Agathinus, son of Thrasybulus, and Telemachus; the statue of Telemachus commemorates his victory with horses, while the Achaeans from Pellene dedicated that of Agathinus. The Athenian people also dedicated a statue of Aristophon, son of Lysinus, who prevailed over his opponents in the men's pankration at the Olympic Games.
