Transliterations on Places on

[1] This statue base was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). The priest was honoured in IG II³ 1, 1099. For the date, see Aleshire, Asklepieion p. 371. There is a hole in the top surface for attaching a capping stone, which might have borne the name of the dedicator. The sculptor, who shares his name with a famous sixth-century BC engineer (Herodotos 3.60), is not otherwise attested.
