Transliterations on Places on

[1] This was probably a dedication by an association of worshippers or attendants, therapeutai (the term may but does not necessarily connote a healing cult), perhaps linked with the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis, perhaps with an Egyptian or other cult. Cf. M.-F. Baslez, Recherches sur les conditions de pénétration et de diffusion des religions orientales à Délos (1977), 192-96.
