Next to the treasury of the Sicyonians stands that of the Carthaginians, a work by Pothaios, Antiphilos, and Megakles; its dedications include a statue of Zeus of great size, and three linen breastplates. There is also an offering by Gelon and the Syracusans, who defeated the Phoenicians either in a naval or in a land battle.
