[1] The inscription was seen inscribed on "a stone pedestal" on the Acropolis by the Greek archaeologist K. S. Pittakis sometime before 1835 (L'ancienne Athènes, 1835, 298) and does not seem to have been seen since. M. Kantiréa Le dieux et le dieux augustes 2007, tabl. 1 suggests that it was an altar because the title is in the genitive case and assigns it to Augustus for reasons that are not explained. For altars dedicated to Roman rulers at Athens, see Agora XVIII 273 with notes.
