| Comment: |
The father's name is Ἀνείκητος δίς ('the second'), indicating that the athlete's grandfather was probably also named 'Aneiketos'.
His place of origin is not mentioned, but his victories support the idea that he lived in Mytilene, where his tombstone was found. He died at the age of 20, with an admittance to the Pythian games left unattended (i.e. making it through the selection rounds) (Gouw).
