Transliterations on Places on

[1] This small, low stele (or cippus) is one of three simple gravestones (IG II² 8635; 12755) within the funerary precinct of the Messenians at the Kerameikos that are probably for slaves from the household of the family who owned the plot (see IG II² 9347a). The name Anna is unique at Athens and suggests she was of Semitic origin. For a general discussion of Attic funerary monuments, AIUK 3 (Fitzwilliam), section 3.
