On The Estate of Apollodorus
A victory monument still standing to commemorate Apollodorus's successful sponsorship of a chorus of boys as choregus.
When he undertook the provision of a choir of boys, he was victorious in the competition, and the well-known tripod still stands as a memorial of his honorable ambition.
