[1] Textual note: K. S. Pittakes, L’ancienne Athènes (1835), 482 and C. W. Goettling, Gesammelte Abhandlungen II (1851), 171 read l. 1 as Ἡρακλεῖ Δι[ομείῳ] or Ἡρακλεῖ Δι[ομέων] – 'to Herakles of Diomeia' or 'to Herakles of the demesmen of Diomeia'. In this deme there was a shrine of Herakles (Harp. s.v.).

K. S. Pittakes discovered and copied this dedication at the church of Agia Dynamis in Plaka before 1835, but it has not been seen since. Pittakes reported many large Pentelic stones were found in this area, so a temple of Herakles may have been situated there (cf. G. E. Malouchou, Αρχείον των Μνημείων των Αθηνών και της Αττικής III, 1992, 78, no. 336).
