[1] This altar dedicated to Artemis by Oreinοs is decorated above and below with cymatia. On top of the altar, there is a semicircular fire pan and above the last letter of each line, a small line is inscribed. The name of the dedicator, Oreinos, directly translates to ‘man of the mountain’, a strikingly appropriate name given that Artemis is a goddess of the wilderness.
