[5] Who made the statue of Theopompus the wrestler we do not know, but those of his father and grandfather are said by the inscription to be by Eutelidas and Chrysothemis, who were Argives. It does not, however, declare the name of their teacher, but runs as follows:—

Eutelidas and Chrysothemis made these works,

Argives, who learnt their art from those who lived before.

Iccus the son of Nicolaidas of Tarentum won the Olympic crown in the pentathlum, and afterwards is said to have become the best trainer of his day.

[5] τὴν δὲ εἰκόνα Θεοπόμπου μὲν τοῦ παλαίσαντος τὸν ποιήσαντα οὐκ ἴσμεν, τὰς δὲ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ πάππου φησὶ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα Εὐτελίδα τε εἶναι καὶ Χρυσοθέμιδος Ἀργείων· οὐ μὴν παρʼ ὅτῳ γε ἐδιδάχθησαν δεδήλωκεν, ἔχει γὰρ δὴ οὕτως·

Εὐτελίδας καὶ Χρυσόθεμις τάδε ἔργα τέλεσσαν

Ἀργεῖοι, τέχναν εἰδότες ἐκ προτέρων.

Ἴκκος δὲ ὁ Νικολαΐδα Ταραντῖνος τόν τε Ὀλυμπικὸν στέφανον ἔσχεν ἐπὶ πεντάθλῳ καὶ ὕστερον γυμναστὴς ἄριστος λέγεται τῶν ἐφʼ αὑτοῦ γενέσθαι·
