Transliterations on Places on

[1] This dedication, found in the deme of Ikarion in north-eastern Attica, is datable very approximately by letter forms to ca. late 4th cent. BC. It has been suggested that the dedication was made by a chorēgos (a theatrical sponsor), on the grounds that it was found in the vicinity of several other choregic dedications, but this inference is uncertain (Csapo and Wilson, 182). On the choregic dedications from Ikarion, see IG II³ 4, 497, with notes. On this deme and its inscriptions see IG I³ 1015, with notes. This inscription would provide only the second example, along with IG I³ 1027bis from Thorikos, of an ex voto dedication (performed in fulfilment of a vow) performed by a chorēgos.
