Philip’s Letter
Pirate chief associated with Philip's seizure of Halonnesus.
Yet I robbed neither them nor you of the island, but only the pirate chief, Sostratus.
Olympian
Father of Hagesias, named in the patronymic 'son of Sostratus' used repeatedly for the victor.
Let the son of Sostratus know that this sandal fits his divinely-blessed foot.
But if, Hagesias, it is true that the men on your mother’s side, living below the boundaries of Cyllene, piously gave many gifts, with prayers and sacrifices, to the herald of the gods, Hermes, who rules over games and the dispensation of contests, and honors Arcadia, the home of fine men, it is that god, son of Sostratus, who with his loud-thundering father fulfills your good fortune.
