[6] The Athenian account, with which the Theban agrees, makes out that Epameinondas was wounded by Grylos. Similar is the story on the picture portraying the battle of Mantineia. All can see that the Mantineians gave Grylos a public funeral and dedicated where he fell his likeness on a slab in honor of the bravest of their allies. The Lacedaemonians also speak of Makhairion as the slayer, but actually at Sparta there is no Makhairion, nor is there at Mantineia, who has received honors for bravery.

[6] ὁ δὲ Ἀθηναίων ἔχει λόγος— ὁμολογοῦσι δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ Θηβαῖοι—τρωθῆναι τὸν Ἐπαμινώνδαν ὑπὸ Γρύλου· παραπλήσια δέ σφισίν ἐστι καὶ τὰ ἐν τῇ γραφῇ τῇ τὸ ἔργον ἐχούσῃ τὸ ἐν Μαντινείᾳ. φαίνονται δὲ οἱ Μαντινεῖς Γρύλον μὲν δημοσίᾳ τε θάψαντες καὶ ἔνθα ἔπεσεν ἀναθέντες εἰκόνα ἐπὶ στήλης ὡς ἀνδρὸς ἀρίστου τῶν συμμάχων· Μαχαιρίωνα δὲ λόγῳ μὲν καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι λέγουσιν, ἔργῳ δὲ οὔτε ἐν Σπάρτῃ Μαχαιρίων ἐστὶν οὐδείς, οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ παρὰ Μαντινεῦσιν, ὅτῳ γεγόνασιν ὡς ἀνδρὶ ἀγαθῷ τιμαί.
