Transliterations on Places on

[1] This altar, made of poros stone, which now appears to be lost, was first published by L. Ross (Die Demen von Attika, 1846, 59, Nr. 42). All later editions of this inscription are based on his notes (IG III 194 and IG II² 4744).

Based on the findspot in northern Athens, this inscription could be related to the sanctuary of Dionysos Melpomenos (Paus. 1.2.4–5; 1.31.6) on which, see inscriptions of priests: IG II² 1348; IG II³ 4, 1899, 1906 and graffiti: Agora XXI G21–22.
