IvO 160; CEG 820; Anthologia Palatina 13.16). The dates for Cynisca's two Olympian victories in the four-horse chariot race given by Moretti 1957, no. 373, (396 and 392 BCE) are widley accepted, but not certain. Translation However, on seeing that some of the citizens esteemed themselves highly and were greatly lifted up because they bred racing horses, he (Agesilaos) persuaded his sister Cynisca to enter a chariot in the contests at Olympia, wishing to shew the Greeks that the victory there was not a mark of any great excellence, but simply of wealth and lavish outlay.
