Inscr.c. περὶ δὲ τῆς ἀπήνης Πολέμων φησί· ἤγετο δὲ ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ ἀπήνης ἀγὼν, καί εἰσιν οἱ ἀγωνισάμενοι ἡμίονοι· καταλυθῆναι δὲ τοῦτο τὸ ἀγώνισμα κατὰ τὴν οδ΄ Ὀλυμπιάδα καὶ εἶναι ιγ΄ νίκας. τὴν δὲ ἀπήνην λαμπήνην λεγέσθαι ὑπὸ Τεγεατῶν φησιν ὁ Πολέμων· οἱ δὲ, Θετταλῶν εἶναι τὴν λέξιν. ἐτυμολογεῖται δὲ ἀπήνη αἰπεινή τις οὖσα διὰ τὴν ὑπερτερίαν· διὸ καὶ ὑψηλᾶν ἀρετᾶν τὸν Πίνδαρον λέγειν ὁ λόγος.
