Transliterations on Places on

[1] This inscribed fragment consists of the upper-left corner of a naiskos stele, preserving the head and upper torso of a bearded male figure wearing a mantle. The inscription appears on the architrave. The fragmentary preservation of this monument means that it is impossible to tell how many figures were originally represented on it. The incomplete preservation of Chairion’s patronymic makes further identification of him impossible. For more information about private Attic funerary monuments, see AIUK 3 (Cambridge), section 3. For fuller discussion of this monument, see AIUK 9 (Brocklesby), no. 3. On the Attic inscriptions at Brocklesby see AIUK 9.
