list of Olympic victors

   The passage explicitly invokes 'the list of Olympic victors' as a documentary source of proof for its claim about training.

   for there is no small proof that too severe training can produce this result in the fact that in the list of Olympic victors one would only find two or three persons who have won both as men and as boys, because when people go into training in youththe severe exercises rob them of their strength.

   Plutarch cites Hippias's work only to flag its limited authority for dating purposes, a neutral report of its status.

   Chronology, however, is hard to fix, and especially that which is based on the names of victors in the Olympic games, the list of which is said to have been published at a late period by Hippias of Elis, who had no fully authoritative basis for his work.

The harvest records where a citation is made: the paragraph in the citing book, and the chapter that paragraph stands in. It does not record which page of this text is meant. Where the citing text names a locus, you will find it in the quotation.
