Comment: The dating is based upon Klee as referred to by Farrington (2012), note 353; if it is assumed correctly that the victory list is in chronological order, then Farrington may rightly suggest a dating of 198-6 BC as the date of Drakontomenes' Isthmian victory. The source mentions additional victories. Mannheim restores the athlete's name as Drakon. Sève (1993) dates him to somewhere before 100 BC, which is a lot more vague than Farrington.
