Transliterations on Places on

[1] This is one of five kioniskoi from the Kerameikos funerary enclosure (peribolos) of the family of Philon of Phaleron (see IG II² 7627 with notes). Philon was the grandfather of Mikkion, through his daughter Soso (see IG II² 7271), and of her husband, also called Philon (the couple were first cousins). There is only one other example of the name Mikkion at Athens, also held by a citizen (Byrne, Athenian Onomasticon). On kioniskoi, see AIUK 3 (Fitzwilliam), no. 7, with notes.
