Transliterations on Places on

[1] This dedication may have been linked to IG II³ 4 272, a dedication by the same Eurykleides following a victory in the horse race at the Anakeia. There is an oval cutting in the upper surface for a votive. [2] Hermes may be invoked because cavalry exercises took place in the Agora at the Herms (Mnesimachos F4.1‒7 [PCG 7.19-20] = Athen. Deip. 9.402e-f), near the findspot of this inscription.
