[8] This Kleosthenes was the first of those who bred horses in Greece to dedicate his statue at Olympia. For the offering of agoras the Laconian consists of the chariot without a figure of agoras himself; the offerings of Miltiades the Athenian, which he dedicated at Olympia, I will describe in another part of my story. The Epidamnians occupy the same territory today as they did at first, but the modern city is not the ancient one, being at a short distance from it. The modern city is called Dyrrhachium from its founder.

[8] τῶν δὲ ἱπποτροφησάντων ἐν Ἕλλησι πρῶτος ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν εἰκόνα ἀνέθηκεν ὁ Κλεοσθένης οὗτος. τὰ γὰρ Μιλτιάδου τοῦ Ἀθηναίου καὶ Εὐαγόρου τοῦ Λάκωνος ἀναθήματα, τοῦ μὲν ἅρματά ἐστιν, οὐ μὴν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἅρμασιν Εὐαγόρας· τὰ Μιλτιάδου δέ, ὁποῖα ἐς Ὀλυμπίαν ἀνέθηκεν, ἑτέρωθι δὴ δηλώσω τοῦ λόγου. Ἐπιδάμνιοι δὲ χώραν μὲν ἥνπερ καὶ ἐξ ἀρχῆς, πόλιν δὲ οὐ τὴν ἀρχαίαν ἐπὶ ἡμῶν ἔχουσιν, ἐκείνης δὲ ἀφεστηκυῖαν ὀλίγον· ὄνομα δὲ τῇ πόλει τῇ νῦν Δυρράχιον ἀπὸ τοῦ οἰκιστοῦ.
