[1] This inscription is written on the epistyle below a pediment forming a separate block that would have crowned a large funerary naiskos, likely with sculpted figures between side pilasters (cf. AIUK 4.6 (BM, funerary), no. 30). The deceased Kallikrates was a citizen of Argos, many of whom are known at Athens from the Archaic period through to Late Imperial times. His father’s name is assumed to be the otherwise unattested Anochis, although the form of the name in the genitive (Ἀνόχιος) is unusual. The inscription's original findspot is unknown, but it now stands on the Kolonos Agoraios, west of the Agora, on top of an unrelated architrave block.
