Greek Text

Τρικολώνου δὲ ὕστερον ἐπέλαβεν ἐν τῷ δρόμῳ τὸ χρεὼν Ἀριστόμαχόν τε καὶ Πρίαντα, ἔτι δὲ Πελάγοντα καὶ Αἰόλιόν τε καὶ Κρόνιον. οἱ δὲ καὶ ἐπαριθμοῦσι τοῖς κατειλεγμένοις Ἐρύθραν παῖδα Λεύκωνος τοῦ Ἀθάμαντος---ἀπὸ τούτου Ἐρυθραὶ πόλισμα ἐκαλεῖτο Βοιωτῶν---καὶ Ἠιονέα Μάγνητος τοῦ Αἰόλου. τούτοις μὲν δὴ ἐνταῦθά ἐστι τὸ μνῆμα, καὶ τὸν Πέλοπα, ἡνίκα τῶν Πισαίων ἔσχε τὴν ἀρχήν, φασὶν ἐναγίζειν αὐτοῖς ἀνὰ πᾶν ἔτος.

English Translation

At Trikolon, fate overtook Aristomachus and Prias during their race, along with Pelagon, Aeolius, and Kronios. Some also include Erythras, son of Leukon son of Athamas—after whom the city Erythrai in Boeotia was named—and Eioneus, son of Magnes, son of Aeolus, among those previously mentioned. Their tomb lies here, and it is said that Pelops himself, once he gained power over the people of Pisa, performed yearly sacrificial rites in their honor.
