37/2 POSITIONS OF VICTOR STATUES IN THE ALTIS. 
42. Nikokles, of Akriai in Lakonia.1 Pausanias mentions a monu- 
ment (uvjua) erected in his honor at Akriai, between the Gymnasion 
and the sea-wall (III, 22.5). 
43. Aigistratos, son of Polykreon, of Lindos in Rhodes.* A statue 
of this victor was set up at Lindos, as we learn from the preserved 
inscription on its base found there.’ He is called in the inscription 
the first Lindian victor at Olympia. 
44. An unknown victor, of (?) Delphi.t The inscribed base of his 
statue, with remains of the dedication, was found many years ago at 
Delphi by Cockerell.® 
We have records of other monuments erected to victors, but it is not 
clear whether the victories recorded were won at Olympia or elsewhere. 
We list the following three doubtful cases, which have already been 
noted in earlier chapters: 
1. Epicharinos. Pausanias mentions the statue ’Emvxapwov omAt- 
Todpoyety aokynoavtos, by the sculptor Kritios, as standing upon the 
Athenian Akropolis (I, 23.9). The inscribed base of this monument 
was found in 1839, between the Propylaia and the Parthenon.® ‘The 
inscription states that the statue was the joint work of Kritios (thus 
correcting the spelling Kpitéas of Pausanias) and Nesiotes. It was, 
therefore, a work of the first half of the fifth century B.C., the date 
of the sculptors of the Tyrannicides (Fig. 32). Ross added the word 
émAtTOOpouos after the name in the inscription. Michaelis,’ however, 
has inserted the name of the victor’s father. Wilamowitz® went 
further and. assumed that Polemon, from whom Pausanias derived 
the account, had already falsely restored the inscription and that the 
statue did not represent Epicharinos, but another victor. ‘This theory 
has been rightly controverted by many scholars.® It is clear that 
Pausanias got his information from the monument, and not from the 
inscription. 
2. Hermolykos, son of Euthoinos or Euthynos. Pausanias men- 
tions the statue of the pancratiast Hermolykos as standing on the

1Nikokles, according to Pausanias, /. c., won five prizes in running (Spédyos) in two Olympiads. 
Foerster, under nos. 788-792, explains these words by arranging victories in diavados, 56Acxos, and 
as ém\irys in one Olympiad, and two of these contests in the next; none of them could have been 
in or 46vov, since his name does not appearin Africanus. Cf. Rutgers, pp. 105-106, 107, and 126. 
Le Bas long ago (R. arch., II, 1845, p. 220) connected a restored inscription with this victor.
