[3] Such is the story of the athlete of Kroton. On entering the enclosure, you come to a bronze bull, a votive offering of the Corcyraeans made by proposTheopropos of Aegina. The story is that in Corcyra, a bull, leaving the cows, would go down from the pasture and bellow on the shore. As the same thing happened every day, the herdsman went down to the sea and saw a countless number of tunas.
