| Comment: | P. Oxy 222 reads Kimon; Pausanias mentions a Cheimon as victor in a wrestling-contest. 'X' and 'k' are confused more often, see above Lakon and Lachon (entry no. 224). The statue was made by Naukydes from Argos. One statue was in Olympia, the other in the Temple of Pax in Rome, brought there from Argos (Paus. 6.9.3). Cheimon was the father of another Olympic victor: Aristeus (Moretti 1957, no. 335). |
