Transliterations on Places on

[1] This base for a bronze statue was probably dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis. Hippolochides also dedicated IG II³ 4, 1564 to an unspecified deity. His adoptive son appears in a lawsuit regarding inheritance (Isaios 7.23) and a natural son performed a trierarchy in 334/3 BC (IG II² 1623, ll. 236). On the family, see Davies, Athenian Propertied Families 1395). On the Asklepieion and its inscriptions, see IG II³ 4, 665. [2] Symenos is mentioned by Pliny Nat. Hist. 34.91 in a list of notable sculptors of athletes, soldiers, hunters, and sacrificers.
