Transliterations on Places on

[1] This relief plaque was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). The dedicator, Menestratos, is not otherwise known. The inscription is inscribed to the right of a relief depicting a human leg. On such ‘anatomical votives’, see AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence, 2017. The dating is based on letter forms (B. Forsén Gliederweihungen, 1996, 47-48).
