Κρατῖνος δὲ ἐξ Αἰγείρας τῆς Ἀχαιῶν τότε ἐγένετο κάλλιστος τῶν ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ σὺν τέχνῃ μάλιστα ἐπάλαισε, καταπαλαίσαντι δὲ αὐτῷ τοὺς παῖδας προσαναστῆσαι καὶ τὸν παιδοτρίβην ὑπὸ Ἠλείων ἐδόθη· τὸν δὲ ἀνδριάντα ἐποίησε Σικυώνιος Κάνθαρος , Ἀλέξιδος μὲν πατρός, διδασκάλου δὲ ὢν Εὐτυχίδου.

English Translation

Cratinus from Aegeira in Achaia was at that time the most handsome of all his contemporaries among the Achaeans, and he wrestled especially skillfully; having conquered in wrestling, he was permitted by the Eleans to set up also statues of the boys and of his trainer. The statue of Cratinus was made by Cantharus of Sicyon, the son of Alexis, who had been a student of Eutychides.
