Greek Text

ἰδιώτας δὲ ἄνδρας Ἠλείους Λάμπον Ἀρνίσκου καὶ Ἀριστάρχου Ψωφίδιοι προξένους ὄντας σφίσιν ἀνέθεσαν ἢ καὶ ἄλλην τινὰ ἐς αὐτοὺς ἔχοντας εὔνοιαν· μέσος δὲ ἕστηκεν αὐτῶν Λύσιππος Ἠλεῖος καταπαλαίσας τοὺς ἐσελθόντας τῶν παίδων, Ἀνδρέας δὲ Ἀργεῖος ἐποίησε τοῦ Λυσίππου τὴν εἰκόνα.

English Translation

Private individuals of Elis dedicated statues of two men, Lampon son of Arniscus and Aristarchus of Psophis, who were serving as their proxenoi or held some other form of goodwill towards them. Between these figures stands Lysippus, an Elean who conquered his opponents in the boys' wrestling. Andreas, an Argive, created the statue of Lysippus.
