[1] Textual note: Klaus Hallof in IG II³ 4 suggests reading Θε- - - - εὐ]χῆι (Th- [dedicated this] as a votive").

This relief plaque was dedicated in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). The inscription, almost entirely lost, is inscribed in a ring surrounding a relief sculpture of a female breast. On such ‘anatomical votives’, see AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence, 2017.
