[1] This marble base is a choregic dedication commemorating a victory in dithyrambic competitions at the Thargelia (cf. IG II³ 4, 475 with notes). It was set up prior to the introduction of the fixed tribe-pairing arrangement in 365/4, under which Erechtheis competed with Antiochis, and Hippothontis alongside Kekropis (cf. IG II³ 4, 480 with notes). The names of the sponsor, the pipe-player, and director cannot be reconstructed.
