Transliterations on Places on

[1] This relief plaque was dedicated to Asklepios, probably in the Asklepieion on the south slope of the Acropolis (on which, see IG II³ 4, 665). The text is inscribed to the right of a relief, which depicts a disembodied shin facing right. Because the stone is broken, it is unclear whether the foot also appeared. On such ‘anatomical votives’, see AIUK 4.5, pp. 69; J. Draycott and E.-J. Graham, Bodies of Evidence, 2017.
