[1] This statue base was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). For the date, see Aleshire Asklepieion 85 n. 1. [2] For the keyholder and fire-bearer (kleidouchos kai pyrphoros), see SEG 18.26 with notes. [3] On the basket-bearer (kanephoros) of the sanctuary of Asklepios, see IG II³ 4 770, with notes. Unusually, she appears to be unrelated to the priest.
