Transliterations on Places on

[1] These two fragments derive from a prytany decree of the post-Sullan type, in which the Council permits the prytany and the aeisitoi ("those with perpetual dining rights," various magistrates and priests entitled ex officio to dine in the tholos every night) to make a dedication honouring their treasurer for successful completion of sacrifices on behalf of the community (see SEG 28.95 with notes). On the date of the archon Apolexis, see IG II² 1025+1040 with notes. This is one of three prytany decrees from that year, along with SEG 32.137 and Agora XV 281. At the top of both fragments, a moulding is preserved, topped by a series of triangles.
