Pausanias Description of Greece 1.3.4

[4] Also painted [ graphesthai] here is the exploit, near Mantineia, of the Athenians who were sent to help the Lacedaemonians. 16

Xenophon among others has written a history of the whole war—the taking of the Kadmeia, the defeat of the Lacedaemonians at Leuktra, how the Boeotians invaded the Peloponnesus, and the contingent sent to the Lacedaemonians from the Athenians. The painting [ graphē] shows a cavalry battle, in which the most famous men are, among the Athenians, Grylos the son of Xenophon, and, in the Boeotian cavalry, Epameinondas the Theban. These paintings [ graphai] were painted [ graphein] for the Athenians by Euphranor, and he also did the Apollo surnamed Patrōos [‘Ancestral’] in the temple [ nāos] close by. In front of the temple [ nāos] is an Apollo that Leokhares made [ poieîn]; [also in front is] another Apollo, called Alexikakos [‘averter of evil’], made by Kalamis. They say that the god received this name because, by way of an oracular pronouncement [ manteion] from Delphi, he stopped the pestilential disease [ nosos] that afflicted the Athenians at the time of the Peloponnesian War. 17
