[5]
προελθόντι δὲ ὀλίγον Ζεύς ἐστι πρὸς ἀνίσχοντα τετραμμένος τὸν ἥλιον, ἀετὸν ἔχων τὸν ὄρνιθα καὶ τῇ ἑτέρᾳ τῶν χειρῶν κεραυνόν· ἐπίκειται δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ κεφαλῇ στέφανος, ἄνθη τὰ ἠρινά. Μεταποντίνων δέ ἐστιν ἀνάθημα, Αἰγινήτου δὲ ἔργον Ἀριστόνου· τοῦ δὲ Ἀριστόνου τούτου διδάσκαλον, ἢ καθʼ ὅντινα χρόνον ἐγένετο, οὐκ ἴσμεν.

A little farther on is a Zeus turned towards the rising sun; he holds an eagle in one hand and in the other a thunderbolt. On him are set spring flowers, with a crown of them on his head.¹ It is an offering of the people of Metapontum . The artist was Aristonus of Aegina , but we do not know when he lived nor who his teacher was.
