ταῦτα μὲν δὴ τὰ ἀξιολογώτατα ἀνδρὶ ποιουμένῳ τὴν ἔφοδον ἐν τῇ Ἄλτει κατὰ τὰ ἡμῖν εἰρημένα· εἰ δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ Λεωνιδαίου πρὸς τὸν βωμὸν τὸν μέγαν ἀφικέσθαι τῇ δεξιᾷ θελήσειας, τοσάδε ἔστι σοι τῶν ἀνηκόντων ἐς μνήμην. Δημοκράτης Τενέδιος καὶ Ἠλεῖος Κριάννιος, οὗτος μὲν ὅπλου λαβὼν νίκην, Δημοκράτης 0 δὲ ἀνδρῶν πάλης· ἀνδριάντας δὲ τοῦ μὲν Μιλήσιος Διονυσικλῆς, τοῦ δὲ Κριαννίου Μακεδὼν Λῦσός ἐστιν ὁ ἐργασάμενος.

These are the most remarkable sights that meet a man who goes over the Altis according to the instructions I have given. But if you will go to the right from the Leonidaeum to the great altar, you will come across the following notable objects. There is Democrates of Tenedos, who won the men's wrestling-match, and Criannius of Elis, who won a victory in the race in armour. The statue of Democrates was made by Dionysicles of Miletus , that of Criannius by Lysus of Macedonia .
