[8] This is the first Troizenian story [ logos] about Theseus. The next is that Aigeus placed boots and a sword under a rock as tokens for the child, and then sailed away to Athens; Theseus, when sixteen years old, pushed the rock away and departed, taking what Aigeus had deposited. There is a representation [ eikōn] of what is said in this story [ logos] on the Acropolis, everything in bronze except the rock.
