[5] Close by stand statues of Harmodios and Aristogeiton, who killed Hipparkhos. The reason [ aitiā] for this deed and the way it was done have been related by others; of the statues [ andriantes] some were made by Kritios, the old ones being the work of Antenor. When Xerxes captured Athens after the Athenians had abandoned the city he took away these statues also among the spoils, but they were afterwards restored to the Athenians by Antiokhos.
