Passage 6.18.7
πρῶται δὲ ἀθλητῶν ἀνετέθησαν ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν εἰκόνες Πραξιδάμαντός τε Αἰγινήτου νικήσαντος πυγμῇ τὴν ἐνάτην Ὀλυμπιάδα ἐπὶ ταῖς πεντήκοντα καὶ Ὀπουντίου Ῥηξιβίου παγκρατιαστὰς καταγωνισαμένου μιᾷ πρὸς ταῖς ἑξήκοντα Ὀλυμπιάδι· αὗται κεῖνται μὲν αἱ εἰκόνες οὐ πρόσω τῆς Οἰνομάου κίονος, ξύλου δέ εἰσιν εἰργασμέναι, Ῥηξιβίου μὲν συκῆς, ἡ δὲ τοῦ Αἰγινήτου κυπαρίσσου καὶ ἧσσον τῆς ἑτέρας πεπονηκυῖά ἐστιν.
The first statues of athletes set up at Olympia were those of Praxidamas of Aegina, who won the boxing match at the fifty-ninth Olympiad, and of Rexibius of Opus, who prevailed as a pancratiast at the sixty-first Olympiad. These statues stand not far from the pillar of Oenomaus, and they are made of wood; that of Rexibius is of fig-wood, and the statue of the Aeginetan is of cypress-wood, being less finely worked than the other.
