[1] This is a dedication of the prytany of Aiantis, which had been honoured for its service in its year in office, cf. IG I³ 515. The dedication, which has a cutting for a votive, will have been erected in the sanctuary of the tribal hero Aias, which he shared with Eurysakes and which was located in Melite, in or close to the Agora. Cf. U. Kron, Die zehn attischen Phylenheroen (1976), 172-74 and Agora XVI 86, esp. ll. 27-33. For another dedication by the prytany of Aiantis see IG II³ 4, 79.
