κεῖνται δὲ καὶ ἐν παισὶν εἰληφότες δρόμου νίκας Μενεπτόλεμος ἐξ Ἀπολλωνίας τῆς ἐν τῷ Ἰονίῳ κόλπῳ καὶ Κορκυραῖος Φίλων, ἐπὶ δὲ αὐτοῖς Ἱερώνυμος Ἄνδριος, ὃς τὸν Ἠλεῖον Τισαμενὸν πενταθλοῦντα ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ κατεπάλαισε τὸν ἐν Ἕλλησιν ὕστερον τούτων ἐναντία Μαρδονίου καὶ Μήδων Πλαταιᾶσι μαντευσάμενον. οὗτός τε δὴ ὁ Ἱερώνυμος ἀνάκειται καὶ 0 παρʼ αὐτὸν παλαιστὴς παῖς, Ἄνδριος καὶ οὗτος, Προκλῆς ὁ Λυκαστίδα· τοῖς πλάσταις δὲ οἳ τοὺς ἀνδριάντας ἐποίησαν, τῷ μὲν Στόμιός ἐστιν ὄνομα, τῷ δὲ τὸν Προκλέα εἰργασμένῳ Σῶμις. Αἰσχίνῃ δὲ Ἠλείῳ νῖκαί τε δύο ἐγένοντο πεντάθλου καὶ ἴσαι ταῖς νίκαις αἱ εἰκόνες.
