Transliterations on Places on

[1] The board making this dedication was most likely identified elsewhere on the monument (another block adjoined this one to the right). Several of the officials were prominent/wealthy: for example Mnesistratos (l. 6) was perhaps son of the theatrical sponsor (choregos) Mnesimachos son of Mnesistratos, IG II³ 4, 500, l. 4; for Misgolas (l. 2) see Aischin. 1.49 with N. Fisher, Aischines. Against Timarchos (2001), 10-12 and commentary ad loc.; J. Davidson, in S. Goldhill and R. Osborne eds., Rethinking Revolutions through Ancient Greece (2006), 42-43. Kallikratides (l. 3) was honoured in IG II³ 1, 469. Chairestratos (l. 11) was from a propertied family, Davies, APF p. 564. Iophon (l. 12) was the great-grandson of Sophocles the famous tragic poet. Archeneos (l. 1) is the dedicator of a theatre seat at Anagyrous in IG II³ 4, 1714. On the Athenian sculptor Leochares (l. 13), who worked ca. 360-320 BC see DNO 2032-68. No original or copy of his work is identifiable.
