Mentioned in Paus. 6.2.10-11, Damiskos is said to have won the boys' stadion at Olympia at the age of 12, in 368 B.C. according to Moretti (1957), no. 417, which is the basis for the date range here followed and suggested by Farrington (2012), no. 1.69 and p. 123 note 296 for Damiskos' career; Pausanias mentions two additional victories: the pentathlon at both the Isthmian and Nemean games. - PK
If we assume that Damiskos, aged 12 in 368 BC, was an active athlete until he was 25, then possible dates for his Nemean victoriy lies between 369 and 355 BC. - EK
