[1] This milestone is attributed to Diocletian and Maximian, who were co-emperors 286-305 AD (see IG II² 5, 13265 with notes). IG II² 5, 13296 is another milestone of the same emperors. Galerius and Constantius (the father of Constantine) were their Caesars (junior co-emperors) from 293 AD and succeeded Diocletian and Maximian as senior co-emperors in 305 AD. This text might have been added subsequently. On milestones, see IG II² 5, 13294 with notes. The inscription is known only from a transcript made by the Abbé Michel Fourmont on his visit to Athens in 1729; he reports seeing it at the Church of Hagia Panagia in Chonika (ancient Oinoe), so it probably stood on the road from Attica to Boiotia. [2] L. 4 likely gave the reference point for the milestone (perhaps ‘from the city’ or ‘from Athens’).
