[9] Opposite the gymnasium, in which the baths have been made, is another gymnasium, an old one, in which stands a bronze statue. The inscription on it says that Xenodamos of Antikyra, a contestant in the pankration, won an Olympic victory in the match for men. If the inscription speaks the truth, it would seem that Xenodamos received the wild olive at the two hundred and eleventh Olympic festival. But this is the only festival omitted in the Eleian records.
