[2] Demylos happened to be a spectator of his son’s performance, and thereupon brought him to Olympia to box. There Glaukos, inexperienced in boxing, was wounded by his antagonists, and when he was boxing with the last of them, he was thought to be fainting from the number of his wounds. Then they say that his father called out to him, “Son, the plough touch.” So he dealt his opponent a more violent blow which right away brought him the victory.

[2] ἐθεάσατο ὁ Δημύλος τὸ ὑπὸ τοῦ παιδὸς ποιούμενον καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ πυκτεύσοντα ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν αὐτὸν ἀνήγαγεν. ἔνθα δὴ ὁ Γλαῦκος ἅτε οὐκ ἐμπείρως ἔχων τῆς μάχης ἐτιτρώσκετο ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνταγωνιζομένων, καὶ ἡνίκα πρὸς τὸν λειπόμενον ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐπύκτευεν, ἀπαγορεύειν ὑπὸ πλήθους τῶν τραυμάτων ἐνομίζετο· καί οἱ τὸν πατέρα βοῆσαί φασιν “ὦ παῖ τὴν ἀπʼ ἀρότρου” . οὕτω γε δὴ βιαιοτέραν ἐς τὸν ἀνταγωνιζόμενον ἐνεγκὼν τὴν πληγὴν αὐτίκα εἶχε τὴν νίκην.
