Translation: One of the 300 picked-men who fought at Thyrea. He remained unnoticed amongst the corpses, wounded, once the Argive survivors Alkenor and Chromios[1] had left. After himself stripping the Argive corpses and setting up a [victory-]trophy [?stained?] with human blood, he immediately died and became the cause of the Spartans again disputing possession of Thyrea and beating their competitors for it.
