[1] This upper section of a marble funerary stele preserves a palmette finial and two rosettes below the inscribed names of three males. Their relationships are not apparent, but the shared name elements -ippos (horse) and Thal- (foliage) suggest family connections. Only one other Thal(l)ippos (son of Euangelos of Sounion) is attested at Athens, from 324/3 BC (I Oropos 353 A, 67).

The stele was first recorded at Chasani near Elleniko on the west coast of Attica, which may suggest the stele was originally located in a cemetery of the nearby deme Halimous. It was later rediscovered at the corner of Sarri and Riga Palamidou Streets in Psyri and moved to the Athenian Agora, where it remains.
