Comment: Source mentions several victories but is not available on PHI: IAG 49; cf. Farrington (2012), note 361. The inscription mentions he won the Didymeia, where he won 'pugmen paidas kai andras'; the Olympia, Nemea, Isthmia and Pythia he won in the age category 'andres', it seems. The source also speaks of 'the other contests' (kai tous loipous agonas). The dating is based upon Farrington (2012), note 360, with reference to the dating of IAG 45 by Moretti between 150-100 BC. - PK Moretti (1957), no. 641 suggests Xenothemis' victory in pugme was at the 159th Olympiad (=144 BC).
