Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is a small column with a round hole on top for the insertion of a votive. The dedicator might be attested as the father of a councillor from Teithras in 341/0 BC (IG II³ 4, 76, l. 56). The findspot might indicate that it derived from the hypothesised sanctuary of Asklepios and Hygieia within the City Eleusinion (on which see IG II³ 4, 1843 with notes).
