[1] Brunsting suggests that this fragment originally derived from the sanctuary of Asklepios on the south slope of the Acropolis, where the honorand, Menekrates is otherwise attested (cf. IG II³ 4, 772 B). On the temple attendant (zakoros), see IG II³ 4, 794; on the sanctuary in general, see IG II³ 4, 665 with notes).
