Transliterations on Places on

[1] This dedication, found in an area designated "Vari", has been thought on the basis of that findspot to be by a demarch of Anagyrous. The name Theophilos is attested in that deme in an ephebic list of Erechtheis (333/2 BC), IG II³ 4, 336, l. 44 (cf. D. Whitehead, Demes, 1986, 409 no.7; Bultrighini). Ackermann notes, however, that in the past "Vari" incorporated the area known now as Glyphada (= deme Aixone); and our inscription was said to have been found in the area of the church [i.e. of Aghios Nikolaos] at the site of the ancient sanctuary of Hebe. This was a sanctuary of Aixone (see IG II² 1199). The name Theophilos is not otherwise attested in Aixone, but it is extremely common. On the inscriptions of Aixone see Ackermann no. 1, with notes.
