[1] This is a fifth-century choregic dedication commemorating a victory in dithyrambic competitions at the Thargelia (cf. IG II³ 4, 475 with notes). On the upper surface, there are traces of holes for the attachment of a tripod. On the paired tribes forming choral teams for the Thargelia, cf. IG I³ 964 with notes. Kedeides is perhaps the poet metioned in Ar. Clouds 985.
