[1] This lost inscription formed part of a dedication to Hygieia (the personification of health) and the child-god Telesphoros, on whom see IG II³ 4, 938. It must post-date the latter's introduction to Attica in the second century AD. The inscription was reported in 1878 by Georg Kaibel, possibly second-hand from Richard Neubauer, and has not been seen since. Kaibel says that it was a fragment of a herm, but gives no information on its location (G. Kaibel, Epigrammata graeca, 1878, p. 435).
