[1] In the top of the base are two cuttings for the votive. The dedicator was victor either in wrestling (pa[len]) or the pankration (pa[gkration]). It is not clear whether there is any connection with the well-known Xenokles, son of Xeinis of Sphettos, cf. IG II³ 4, 212, 213. Panathenaia: IG II³ 4, 578.
