[1] It is not clear which cult of Isis in Attica Kallistratos was priest in, nor what deity is referred to in l. 3. If the pre-250 BC date proposed by the first editor, E.-L. Choremi, Horos 17-21, 2004-2009, 126-27 (SEG 59.274) is correct, this is among the earliest items of evidence for Attic cult of Isis (cf. IG II³ 4, 1113), but it is difficult to rule out a later date.
