Theognetus of Aegina succeeded in winning the crown for the boys' wrestling-match, and Ptolichus of Aegina made his statue. Ptolichus was a pupil of his father Synnoon, and he of Aristocles the Sicyonian, a brother of Canachus and almost as famous an artist. Why Theognetus carries a cone of the cultivated pine and a pomegranate I could not conjecture; perhaps some of the Aeginetans may have a local story about it.

Θεογνήτῳ δὲ Αἰγινήτῃ πάλης μὲν στέφανον λαβεῖν ὑπῆρξεν ἐν παισί, τὸν δὲ ἀνδριάντα οἱ Πτόλιχος ἐποίησεν Αἰγινήτης. διδάσκαλοι δὲ ἐγεγόνεσαν Πτολίχῳ μὲν Συννοῶν ὁ πατήρ, ἐκείνῳ δὲ Ἀριστοκλῆς Σικυώνιος, ἀδελφός τε Κανάχου καὶ οὐ πολὺ τὰ ἐς δόξαν ἐλασσούμενος. ἐφʼ ὅτῳ δὲ ὁ Θεόγνητος πίτυος τῆς γʼ ἡμέρου καὶ ῥοιᾶς φέρει καρπόν, ἐμοὶ μὲν οὐχ οἷά τε ἦν συμβαλέσθαι, τάχα δʼ ἂν Αἰγινήταις τισὶν 0 ἐπιχώριος ἐς αὐτὰ ἂν εἴη λόγος.

[1] Theognetos of Aegina succeeded in winning the garland for the boys’ wrestling match, and Ptolikhos of Aegina made his statue. Ptolikhos was a pupil of his father Synnoön, and he of Aristokles the Sikyonian, a brother of Kanakhos and almost as famous an artist. Why Theognetos carries a cone of the cultivated pine and a pomegranate I could not conjecture; perhaps some of the Aeginetans may have a local story about it.
