Comment: For the dating I follow Farrington (2012), no. 1.17 and p. 104 note 213, based on Pausanias' mention of the sculptor of Glaukos' statue (viz. Glaukias of Aigina). Contest place is never made explicit, nor are age categories, though Farrington (2012), p. 104 note 213 suggests Glaukos might have been a pais for his Olympian victory, given Pausanias' anecdote of Glaukos' father encouraging his son. - PK
