6.21.7

[7] proïonti de enteuthen to te hudôr tês Parthenias esti kai pros tôi potamôi taphos hippôn tôn Marmakos: Hippodameias de mnêstêra echei logos aphikesthai prôton touton Marmaka kai apothanein hupo tou Oinomaou pro tôn allôn, onomata de autou tais hippois Parthenian te einai kai Eriphan--Oinomaon de epikatasphaxai men tas hippous tôi Marmaki, metadounai mentoi kai tautais taphênai--, kai onoma Parthenias tôi potamôi apo hippou tês Marmakos.

[7] Going on from this point you come to the water of Parthenia, and by the river is the grave of the mares of Marmax. The story has it that this Marmax was the first suitor of Hippodameia to arrive, and that he was killed by Oenomaus before the others; that the names of his mares were Parthenia and Eripha; that Oenomaus slew the mares after Marmax, but granted burial to them also, and that the river received the name Parthenia from the mare of Marmax.
