Transliterations on Places on

[1] This Pentelic marble dedicatory inscription was discovered built into the fourth-century AD Post-Herulian Wall, a little south of the City Eleusinion (see AIUK 4.1 (BM: Cult Provisions) no. 1 and Agora XXXI) and probably came from that sanctuary. The dedicator is likely the Lakrateides who was hierophant ca. 350 BC, or a relation (J. H. Blok and S. D. Lambert, ZPE 169, 2009, 114 no. 4).
