Transliterations on Places on

[1] The Lykeion is the famous gymnasium located east of the city, outside the Diochares gate (Strabo 9.1, 19, p. 397; Paus. 1.19.3). This inscription was found in that area, and is our best evidence for the location of the Lykeion. Cf. C. E. Ritchie, Jr., Studies Mylonas 3, pp. 250-60; IG I³ 105 with n. 6; IG II³ 4, 397, 399.
