[10] Then did all Greece understand the oracular-pronouncement [ logion] given to the people of Phokis by Apollo. For the watchword [ sun-thēma] given by the Thessalian generals in each situation of the battle was ‘Athena Itōniā’, and by the generals of the people of Phokis, the watchword was ‘Phokos’, after whom the people of Phokis were named. Because of this engagement, the people of Phokis sent as offerings [ anathēmata] to Delphi statues of Apollo, of Tellias the seer, and of all their other generals in the battle, together with the heroes [ hērōes] of the local population [ epikhōrioi]. The images [ eikones] were the work of the Argive, Aristomedon.

[10] Then did all Greece understand the oracle given to the Phocians by Apollo. For the watchword given in battle on every occasion by the Thessalian generals was Itonian Athena, and by the Phocian generals Phocus, from whom the Phocians were named. Because of this engagement the Phocians sent as offerings to Delphi statues of Apollo, of Tellias the seer, and of all their other generals in the battle, together with images of their local heroes. The figures were the work of the Argive Aristomedon.
