In Ancyra of Galatia, at the Asclepeia [...] the boys' long race; in Hadrianea of Bithynia, at the sacred Hadrianeia Antinoeia, the boys' long race; in Heraclea on the Pontus, at the Hadrianeia Heracleia, equivalent to Actia, the boys' long race; in Chalcedon the boys' long race, and in succession the men's long race; in Nicomedia, at the Augusteia Severeia, the men's long race, and on the same day the double race and the race in armour; in Nicaea, at the Augusteia, the men's long race; in Heraclea on the Pontus, at the Hadrianeia Heracleia, equivalent to Actia, the men's long race, and on the same day the race in armour; in Nicaea, at the Augusteia, the men's long race, and on the same day the double race and the race in armour; in Philadelphia, at the provincial festival of Asia, the men's long race.
