Transliterations on Places on

[1] The stone is known only from K. S. Pittakis L’ancienne Athènes (1835) 51. He saw it in the Church of Agia Kyra on Odos Polygnotou (between the City Eleusinion and the Roman Agora). The findspot might indicate that it derived from the hypothesised sanctuary of Asklepios and Hygieia within the City Eleusinion (on which see IG II³ 4, 1843 with notes). For other dedications to Hygieia alone, see IG II³ 4, 676, 707, and 900.
