Transliterations on Places on

[1] This marble rounded base is a choregic dedication commemorating a victory in the dithyrambic competition at the Thargelia (cf. IG II³ 4, 475 with notes). This is the second attested victory of the established team of Hippothontis and Kekropis (IG II³ 4, 493 is the first). This victory is a candidate for identification with the victory at the Thargelia by the tribe Hippothontis implied by I Eleusis 67. [2] On Eukles, cf. IG II³ 4, 480.
