Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is a fragment from the upper right corner of a votive relief plaque, dedicated to Hygieia. It is almost inevitable that Asklepios was a co-dedicatee, perhaps along with other healing deities. Orthography and letter forms suggest a 4^th-century BC date. Nothing of the relief dedication is preserved. The findspot might indicate that it derived from the hypothesised sanctuary of Asklepios and Hygieia within the City Eleusinion (on which see SEG 44.79 with notes).
