[1] This inscription is a list of participants in either the third or fourth Augustan Dodekais (on which, see F.Delphes III 2, 59 with notes), inscribed on the southern wall of the Athenian Treasury at Delphi. On Attic inscriptions at Delphi, see IG II³ 4, 17 with notes, and on the Athenian Treasury, see F.Delphes III 2, 3.

The archonships of Timoleon at Delphi and of Theophilos at Athens cannot precisely be dated. Follet, Topoi 8, 1998, 253 dates the inscription to 14/3-11/0 BC; Byrne Athenian Onomasticon dates it to 11/0 BC. [2] On Eukles, Polykritos, Diotimos, Gorgippos, and Lysias, see F.Delphes III 2, 59 with notes. On Aristos, see F.Delphes III 2, 61; and on Menodoros, see F.Delphes III 2, 64. Unlike in most Dodekais inscriptions, the demotics of the participants are not given here (the only other case being F.Delphes III 2, 64). The sacred remembrancer (hieromnemon, see F.Delphes III 2, 59 with notes), Herodotos son of Mousaios, is otherwise unknown.
