[4] In the third year of the forty-eighth Olympiad, at which Glaukias of Kroton was victorious, the Amphiktyones held contests for harping as from the beginning but added competitions for aulos playing and for singing to the aulos. The conquerors proclaimed were Melampos, a Cephallenian, for harping, and Ekhembrotos, an Arcadian, for singing to the aulos [‘double-reed’], with Sacadas of Argos for aulos playing. This same Sacadas won victories at the next two Pythian festivals.
