[1] This funerary stele was acquired in Athens by Lord Elgin (cf. AIUK 4.1, no. 2). The rounded top contains traces of a painted palmette decoration with a horizontal band at its base, identified by Posamentir using UV-reflectography (see discussion at AIUK 8 (Broomhall), pp. 4-6). The relief depicts a bearded elderly man resting upon a once painted stick. Both father and son have rare names at Athens; the location of their deme of Krioa remains unknown. For more detailed discussion of the inscription see AIUK 4.6 (BM, Funerary Monuments), no. 19.
