[1] These are the most remarkable sights that meet a man who goes over the Altis according to the instructions I have given. But if you will go to the right from the Leonidaion to the great altar, you will come across the following notable objects. There is Demokrates of Tenedos, who won the men’s wrestling match, and Kriannios of Elis, who won a victory in the race in armor. The statue of Demokrates was made by Dionysikles of Miletus, that of Kriannios by Lysos of Macedonia.

ταῦτα μὲν δὴ τὰ ἀξιολογώτατα ἀνδρὶ ποιουμένῳ τὴν ἔφοδον ἐν τῇ Ἄλτει κατὰ τὰ ἡμῖν εἰρημένα· εἰ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ Λεωνιδαίου πρὸς τὸν βωμὸν τὸν μέγαν ἀφικέσθαι τῇ δεξιᾷ θελήσειας, τοσάδε ἔστι σοι τῶν ἀνηκόντων ἐς μνήμην. Δημοκράτης Τενέδιος καὶ Ἠλεῖος Κριάννιος, οὗτος μὲν ὅπλου λαβὼν νίκην, Δημοκράτης 0 δὲ ἀνδρῶν πάλης· ἀνδριάντας δὲ τοῦ μὲν Μιλήσιος Διονυσικλῆς, τοῦ δὲ Κριαννίου Μακεδὼν Λῦσός ἐστιν ὁ ἐργασάμενος.
