Comment: Probably competed in either combat sports or running (see second part of inscription line 10 referring to stadiums). - RV Achilleus' honourary monument was destroyed by Christians due to its pagan symbolism relating to his victories (Gouw). The epigraph mentions other victories at Olympic and Pythian games, but goes not into detail.
