Ἐρυθραῖοι δὲ οἱ Ἴωνες Ἐπιθέρσην τὸν Μητροδώρου, δύο μὲν ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ πυγμῆς, δὶς δὲ Πυθοῖ νίκας καὶ ἐν Νεμέᾳ τε καὶ ἐν Ἰσθμῷ λαβόντα, οὗτοι μὲν τὸν Ἐπιθέρσην τοῦτον, Συρακούσιοι δὲ δύο μὲν Ἱέρωνος εἰκόνας τὸ δημόσιον, τρίτην δὲ ἀνέθεσαν οἱ τοῦ Ἱέρωνος παῖδες· ἐδήλωσα δὲ ὀλίγῳ τι πρότερον ὡς ὁμώνυμός τε τῷ Δεινομένους ὁ Ἱέρων οὗτος καὶ Συρακουσῶν εἴη κατὰ ταὐτὰ ἐκείνῳ τύραννος.

The Ionians of Erythrae dedicated a statue of Epitherses, son of Metrodorus, who won two boxing prizes at Olympia , two at Pytho , and also victories at Nemea and the Isthmus; the Syracusans dedicated two statues of Hiero at the public charge, while a third is the gift of Hiero's sons. I pointed out in a recent chapter¹ ow this Hiero had the same name as the son of Deinomenes, and, like him, was despot of Syracuse .
