| Comment: | Dolichos was introduced in 720 when Akanthos won the Olympic victory (See ID). Pausanias records the death of Phanas in the third year of the second Messenian war (= 683/682 BC). Hence, the dating. Moretti 1957, no. 31 suggests the victory to have taken place at the 24th Olympiad (= 684 BC) |
