The two-horse chariot race1 was added in this same Olympic Festival2; and among the Lacedaemonians Pleistonax, their king, died after a reign of fifty years, and Pausanias succeeded to the throne and reigned for fourteen years. Also the inhabitants of the island of Rhodes left the cities of Ielysus, Lindus, and Cameirus and settled in one city, that which is now called Rhodes.

1 Until this time the only chariot race had been that with teams of four horses (cp. Paus. 5.8.10).

2 The ninety-third, 408 B.C.
