Δαμαρέτῳ δὲ Ἡραιεῖ υἱῷ τε τοῦ Δαμαρέτου καὶ υἱωνῷ δύο ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ γεγόνασιν ἑκάστῳ νῖκαι, Δαμαρέτῳ μὲν πέμπτῃ ἐπὶ ταῖς ἑξήκοντα Ὀλυμπιάδι, ὅτε ἐνομίσθη πρῶτον ὁ τοῦ ὁπλίτου δρόμος, καὶ ὡσαύτως τῇ ἐφεξῆς—πεποίηται ὁ ἀνδριὰς ἀσπίδα τε κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ ἔχων τοῖς ἐφ᾽ ἡμῶν καὶ κράνος ἐπὶ τῇ κεφαλῇ καὶ κνημῖδας ἐπὶ τοῖς ποσί: ταῦτα μὲν δὴ ἀνὰ χρόνον ὑπό τε Ἠλείων καὶ ὑπὸ Ἑλλήνων τῶν ἄλλων ἀφῃρέθη τοῦ δρόμου—, Θεοπόμπῳ δὲ τῷ Δαμαρέτου καὶ αὖθις ἐκείνου παιδὶ ὁμωνύμῳ ἐπὶ πεντάθλῳ, Θεοπόμπῳ δὲ τῷ δευτέρῳ πάλης ἐγένοντο αἱ νῖκαι.
