[1] One of the two ways from the gymnasium leads to the marketplace and to what is called the Umpires’ Room; it is above the tomb of Achilles, and by it, the umpires are accustomed to go to the gymnasium. They enter before sunrise to match the runners, and at midday for the pentathlon and for such contests as are called heavy.
