Transliterations on Places on

[1] The inscription labels figures on a fragmentary votive relief (precise provenance unknown) showing, to the left, a raised hand, probably of a seated divinity, being approached by a man accompanied by children (phot. in B. S. Ridgway, Greek Sculpture in the Art Museum, Princeton University, 1994, 17). The extant names at ll. 3-6 (Theog-, Archias, Myron, Lykiskos) are quite common in fourth century Athens. M. Edelmann, Menschen auf griechischen Weihreliefs (1999), 110-11, 211 E16 (ph.), suggests that the relief may have been dedicated by Pythaistai, participants in the intermittent state pilgrimage to Delphi (see IG II³ 4, 18 with notes). Cf. the similar group on IG II³ 4, 632.
