[1] This is one of over a hundred surviving altars from Athens dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD), as saviour, founder, and Olympios, on which see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 7 with notes. The meaning of the X in line 5 is unclear; it might be the numeral for 600 or an abbreviation of some kind (cf. Agora XVIII 286). Leaves are carved in relief to the right of l. 4 and below the inscription.
