Transliterations on Places on

[1] This fragment is part of a Roman-period choregic dedication (see IG II³ 4, 558 with notes). The three preserved lines are part of an epigram in hexameters. Aigeis is named as the victorious tribe, but it may have shared the victory with other tribes, as was common in the Roman period (cf. IG II³ 4, 563). The reference to Ares may be linked to the Temple of Ares, located near its findspot, or a patronymic. The lettering is characteristic of the second or third centuries AD.
