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 relief is an ‘anatomical votive’ depicting a single disembodied female breast (cf. AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence, 2017). The dedicator’s name indicates that she was a woman and probably a foreign resident (B. Forsén Gliederweihungen, 1996, 35).
