THE FIRST EPHODOS OF PAUSANIAS. 345 
large pedestal to the northwest of that of the victor Telemachos (122) 
found 1 situ near the South Altis wall,! a position which is in harmony 
_ with the description of the statues of Zeus; just behind it he has identi- 
fied two large foundations near together as those of the two chariots. 
So the eight intervening statues stood here. Of the statues between 
the chariot of Kleosthenes and the base of the statue of Telemachos, 
the base of that of Tellon (102) was found in the East Byzantine wall 
near the South Altis wall; that of Aristion (115) nearby, embedded in 
the same wall; that of Akestorides (119), whose name I have inserted in 
the lacuna in the text of Pausanias (VI, 13.7),? just northeast of the 
base of Telemachos.* ‘Thus the series of statues from that of Gelo to 
that of Agathinos (90—121a, P., VI, 9.4-13.11) can be grouped in the 
zone of the Chariots. 
As the fragment of the base of the statue of the Athenian pancratiast 
Aristophon (123) was found near the base of Telemachos, but to the 
east of it, and likewise that which supported the equestrian monument 
of Xenombrotos and Xenodikos (133-134) still further to the east near 
the Echo Colonnade,‘ we can conclude that the twenty-one statues from 
Aristophon to Prokles (123-138, P., VI, 13.11-14.13), mostly of the 
fifth century B.C., stood near the South Altis wall to the east (and not 
to the west of the base of Telemachos, where all other investigators 
have wrongly placed them),’ and thus form a group which we can call 
the zone of Telemachos. So we conclude that the long list of statues

gateway and the later East Byzantine wall of the Altis. 
*Hyde, pp. 49 f., where I assume that the passage VI, 13.8 is a digression, and that the name 
of a victor has dropped out at the end of 13. 7. There I have inserted, from a recovered inscrip- 
tion, the name of Akestorides of Alexandria Troas, placing his statue next to that of Agemachos 
(118) of similar date, the only other Asiatic in this part of the Altis. Foerster, 501, dates 
Akestorides wrongly in the second century B. C. (on the basis of Furtwaengler, 4. ., V, 1880, 
p. 30, n. 2, end), although the inscription from the base is referred by Dittenberger to the end of 
the third; Agemachos won in Ol. 147 (=192 B. C.); I have therefore dated Akestorides tentatively 
between Ol. (?) 142 and Ol. (?) 144 (=212 and 204 B. C.). 
3See Inschr. v. Ol., 147, 148 (Tellon, inscription renewed in the first century B. C.); 165 (Aris- 
tion); 184 (Akestorides). 
Roehl (/.G. 4., no. 355 and Add., p. 182) referred an inscription on two marble fragments found 
in 1879 (cf. 4. Z., XXXVII, 1879, p. 161, no. 312), one found near the Heraion, the other east of 
the temple of Zeus, to the victor Agiadas (103); Dittenberger (cf. Inschr. v. Ol., no. 150) and others 
have rightly rejected this ascription. Similarly the inscribed base of the statue of Areus (105 b), 
son of Akrotatos, King of Sparta, found in the Heraion (see Inschr. v. Ol., no. 308), belongs 
rather to the second statue of Areus (148 a) dedicated by Ptolemy Philadelphus; cf. Hyde, pp. 
44-45. I have also referred the second inscription of the artist Pythagoras (Inschr. v. Ol., no. 
145) found in the Leonidaion, to the statue of Astylos (110), because of its similarity to that 
on the base of the statue of Euthymos (56) likewise by Pythagoras: ibid., pp. 47-48. 
4See Inschr.v. Ol., nos. 169 (Aristophon), 154 (Xenombrotos and Xenodikos), following Robert’s 
ascription, O. S., 1900, pp. 179 f.; a second epigram referring to Xenombrotos alone (Inschr. 
v. Olymp., no. 170) must belong to a second monument not mentioned by Pausanias; cf. Hyde, 
Be). ;
