[4] Near the likeness [ eikōn] of Demosthenes is a sanctuary [ hieron] of Ares, where are placed two statues [ agalmata] of Aphrodite, one of Ares made by Alkamenes, and one of Athena made by a man from Paros by the name of Lokros. There is also a statue [ agalma] of Enyo, made by the sons of Praxiteles. About the temple stand [images of] Hēraklēs, Theseus, Apollo binding his hair with a fillet [ tainiā], and statues [ andriantes] of Kalades, who it is said to have framed laws for the Athenians, and of Pindar, and this likeness [ eikōn] [of Pindar] is one of the rewards the Athenians gave him for praising [ ep-aineîn] them in a song that he made [ poieîn].
