Passage 6.15.6
Ἐρυθραῖοι δὲ οἱ Ἴωνες Ἐπιθέρσην τὸν Μητροδώρου, δύο μὲν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ πυγμῆς, δὶς δὲ Πυθοῖ νίκας καὶ ἐν Νεμέᾳ τε καὶ ἐν Ἰσθμῷ λαβόντα, οὗτοι μὲν τὸν Ἐπιθέρσην τοῦτον, Συρακούσιοι δὲ δύο μὲν Ἱέρωνος εἰκόνας τὸ δημόσιον, τρίτην δὲ ἀνέθεσαν οἱ τοῦ Ἱέρωνος παῖδες· ἐδήλωσα δὲ ὀλίγῳ τι πρότερον ὡς ὁμώνυμός τε τῷ Δεινομένους ὁ Ἱέρων οὗτος καὶ Συρακουσῶν εἴη κατὰ ταὐτὰ ἐκείνῳ τύραννος.
The Erythraeans, who are Ionians, set up an offering for Epitherses, son of Metrodorus, who gained two victories in boxing at Olympia, two at Pytho, as well as victories at Nemea and at the Isthmus. Such was the honor paid by these people to this Epitherses; the Syracusans, however, dedicated two statues of Hiero at the public expense, and a third was dedicated by Hiero's children. I have already briefly indicated a little earlier that this Hiero bore the same name as the son of Deinomenes, and was likewise tyrant of Syracuse in the same manner as he had been.
