a. ἤ τοι Πίσα μὲν Διός: τὴν αἰτίαν παρέστησε, παρ᾿ ἣν τοὺς τρεῖς ἐπαινεῖ· Δία μὲν γὰρ ὅτι τούτου ἱερὸς ὁ τόπος· Ὀλυμπιάδα δὲ ἔστασεν Ἡρακλέης· ὅτι τὰς . . . μέμνηται ὡς ἥρωος· Θήρωνος δὲ ὡς ἀνθρώπου. τυποῖ δὲ ὁ Πίνδαρος ὅτι δεῖ καθ᾿ ἕκαστον ἐπίνικον τοὺς τρεῖς ὑμνεῖν, θεὸν, ἥρωα, ἄνθρωπον. b. ἤτοι Πίσα μὲν Διός: ἡ μὲν Πίσα τοῦ Διός ἐστιν ἱερά· δι᾿ ἣν ὑμνεῖν τὸν θεὸν δεῖ· τὸν δὲ Ὀλυμπιακὸν ἀγῶνα ἔστησεν Ἡρακλῆς· ἦν γὰρ κατά τινας παραμεληθείς.
