Passage 6.14.1
Φερίας δὲ Αἰγινήτης---οὗτος γὰρ δὴ παρὰ τὸν Ἀθηναῖον Ἀριστοφῶντα ἀνάκειται---ὀγδόῃ μὲν πρὸς ταῖς ἑβδομήκοντα Ὀλυμπιάδι κομιδῇ τε ἔδοξεν εἶναι νέος καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτήδειός πω νομισθεὶς παλαίειν ἀπηλάθη τοῦ ἀγῶνος, τῇ δὲ ἑξῆς---κατεδέχθη γὰρ τηνικαῦτα ἐς τοὺς παῖδας---ἐνίκα παλαίων. τῷ δὲ Φερίᾳ τούτῳ διάφορον καὶ οὐδαμῶς ἐοικυῖαν ἔσχεν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ τύχην Νικασύλος Ῥόδιος.
Pherias, an Aeginetan—for he is commemorated on the statue by the Athenian Aristophon—was judged at the seventy-eighth Olympiad altogether too young and not yet sufficiently mature for wrestling, and thus was excluded from the competition. At the following Olympiad, however—since at that time he was admitted into the boys' category—he prevailed as the victor in wrestling. In contrast to the fortune of this Pherias at Olympia was the fate of Nicasylus of Rhodes, altogether different and bearing no resemblance whatsoever.
