[1] This is a fragment from a statue base, which was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis. The title of the priest refers to the fact that he had been chosen by lot from the Athenian population, rather than receiving the position as member of a particular genos. On these "democratic priesthoods," see IG II³ 1, 359 and IG I³ 35 with notes. On the Asklepieion and its inscriptions, see IG II³ 4, 665.
