Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is a choregic dedication commemorating a victory in dithyrambic competitions at the City Dionysia (cf. IG II³ 4, 460 with notes), or perhaps (if two tribes were restored) the Thargelia (cf. IG II³ 4, 475 with notes). Since the tribe name(s) cannot be reconstructed and the findspot does not help further, it is not possible to determine which festival the dedication relates to.
