Transliterations on Places on

[1] This stoichedon inscription is inscribed on a round statue base, which was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis. The dedicator, Polydoros, is not otherwise attested. The text identifies Koronos, rather than Polydoros, as a member of the deme Kephisia. This might indicate some irregularity with Polydoros' citizenship, but is probably an error by the stonecutter. The priest might also appear in IG II³ 4, 701. There is a round cutting on top for a votive. On the Asklepieion and its inscriptions, see IG II³ 4, 665.
