[1] This stoichedon inscription is inscribed on a round statue base, which was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis. Like IG II³ 874 and 900, it was dedicated to Hygieia ("Health"), rather than Asklepios. The priest Nikodemos also appears in IG II³ 706, which is the basis for dating this inscription (S. Aleshire, Asklepios, 162). There is a cutting on top for a votive. On the Asklepieion and its inscriptions, see IG II³ 4, 665.
