Passage 8.9.9
Μαντινεῦσι δὲ ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ γυναικός τε εἰκὼν χαλκῆ--- καὶ Μαντινεῖς καλοῦσι Διομένειαν Ἀρκάδος ---καὶ ἡρῷόν ἐστι Ποδάρου· φασὶ δὲ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ πρὸς Ἐπαμινώνδαν καὶ Θηβαίους μάχῃ. γενεαῖς δὲ τρισὶν ἐμοῦ πρότερον μετέθεσαν τοῦ τάφου τὸ ἐπίγραμμα ἐς ἄνδρα ἀπόγονον μὲν ἐκείνου Ποδάρου καὶ ὁμώνυμον, γεγονότα δὲ καθʼ ἡλικίαν ὡς πολιτείας ἤδη Ῥωμαίων μετειληφέναι.
In the marketplace of the Mantineans there is a bronze statue of a woman—whom the Mantineans call Diomeneia, the daughter of Arkas—and a hero shrine dedicated to Podares. They say Podares died in the battle against Epaminondas and the Thebans. Three generations before my time, they transferred the epitaph from his tomb to a later man, a descendant and namesake of that Podares, who lived at an age when they had already come under Roman rule.
