Δυσπόντιον, πόλις Πισαίας, ἀπὸ Δυσπόντου τοῦ Πέλοπος, παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐξ Ἤλιδος εἰς Ὀλυμπίαν. ἀπὸ ταύτης Ἀντίμαχος ἦν ὀλυμπιονίκης νικήσας [ἐν ὀλυμπιάδι] στάδιον. Φλέγων ἐν ὀλυμπιάδι βʹ “Ἀντίμαχος Ἠλεῖος ἐκ Δυσποντίου στάδιον”. καὶ ἐν κζʹ “Δάιππος Κροτωνιάτης πύξ, Ἠλείων ἐκ Δυσποντίου τέθριππον”. μέμνηται δ´ αὐτῆς καὶ Τρύφων ἐν παρωνύμοις γράφων οὕτως τὸ ἐθνικόν “οἱ δὲ Δυσποντεῖς οὐ παρὰ τὴν πόλιν Δυσπόντιον καλοῦνται (ἐλέγοντο γὰρ Δυσποντιεῖς), παρὰ δὲ τὸν Πέλοπος υἱὸν Δύσποντον”.

Dyspontion: a city of Pisaia, named after Dyspontos son of Pelops, on the road from Elis to Olympia. From this city Antimachos was an Olympic victor, having won the stadion. Phlegon in Olympiad 2: ‘Antimachos the Elean, from Dyspontion, the stadion’; and in Olympiad 27: ‘Daippos of Kroton, boxing; <***>; of the Eleans, from Dyspontion, the four-horse chariot’. Tryphon too mentions it in his Paronyma, writing the ethnonym thus: ‘But the Dysponteis are not called from the city Dyspontion, but from Dyspontos son of Pelops.’
