Transliterations on Places on

[1] This relief plaque is an ‘anatomical votive,’ depicting a set of male genitals (cf. AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence, 2017). It is likely that it was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665), but several other medical sanctuaries are possible. The dedicator’s name was probably Eudoxos or Eudoros, but many other names are possible. The date is based on letter forms (B. Forsén Gliederweihungen, 1996, 75).
