[1] This is a fifth-century choregic dedication commemorating a victory in dithyrambic competitions at the Thargelia (cf. IG II³ 4, 475 with notes). The inscription was engraved on a fluted column (or circular base), with two letters per line in each flute. This is probably the same monument as the choregic dedication of Aristokrates in the Pythion which Pl. Gorg. 472a-b mentions (cf. Davies, APF 1904). [2] During the fifth and the first half of the fourth century, the tribal choral teams were paired off by lot. From around the 370s BC, the team pairing became fixed and Kekropis competed along with Hippothontis, and Erechtheis with Antiochis (cf. IG II³ 4, 480 with notes).
