[6] Ἀθηναίοις μὲν δὴ καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα μὴ ἐκπλεῦσαι σφᾶς ἀπαγορεύοντα ἐς 0 Σικελίαν διηγήσατο ὁ Κλειτόδημος, Κυρηναῖοι δὲ ἀνέθεσαν ἐν Δελφοῖς Βάττον ἐπὶ ἅρματι, ὃς ἐς Λιβύην ἤγαγε σφᾶς ναυσὶν ἐκ Θήρας. ἡνίοχος μὲν τοῦ ἅρματός ἐστι Κυρήνη, ἐπὶ δὲ τῷ ἅρματι Βάττος τε καὶ Λιβύη στεφανοῦσά ἐστιν αὐτόν· ἐποίησε δὲ Ἀμφίων Ἀκέστορος Κνώσσιος.
