Transliterations on Places on

[1] This plaque was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). The inscription is carved on a relief depiction of a statue base, itself within a tabula ansata. Philistides is probably the same man who dedicated IG II³ 4, 901 to Asklepios, Hygieia, and Telesphoros. The stone is known only from its initial publication (P. Kastriotes, Πρακτικὰ τῆς Ἀρχαιολογικῆς Ἑταιρείας1925-1926 [1929], 102-3) and seems now to be lost.
