[1] This is one of a number of short inscriptions specifying offerings required, most but not all of them associated with the Asklepieia on the south slope of the Acropolis and in the Piraeus. See IG II² 4962, with notes, and for further discussion, CGRN 135. We follow the reconstruction of the text in IG II³. Traces are consistent with either "a single-boss cake" ([m]o[n]o[mphalon], Peek, AM 66, 1941, 197 n. 1) or "three single-boss cakes" ([tria m]o[n]o[mphala], Sokolowski), but not with "a propitiatory cake" ([arestera], Ziehen). None of the inscriptions of this type can be securely dated, except in a general way by lettering and graphic features. We prefer to give a broader date range than IG's "iii-ii BC". Cf. IG II³ 4, 1759.
