Extract

For permission to publish these two inscriptions, now in the Epigraphic Museum at Athens, the writer is indebted to Professor Leonardos, Director of the Museum, and to Professor Keramopoullos, who discovered them. His thanks are further due to Dr. J. J. E. Hondius for having resigned a prior right to publication of the second, to Mr. C. T. Seltman for the photograph of the first, to Mr. E. P. Austin for the photograph and measurements of the second, to Mr. A. M. Woodward for his notes, and to Mr. M. N. Tod for valuable criticisms.

I. This stele, which is of Pentelic marble, was found in the house of Athanasios Katzoules by the church of S. Spyridon in Athens, in the part anciently called Agra, and was taken thence to the Epigraphic Museum on June 28th, 1914; its number is 12381. In height it measures 48·5 cm. above ground, 32 cm. below, in breadth at base of gable 25 cm., at ground level 29 cm. The greatest width of lettering is 23·5 cm., its average height about 23 mm., and the height of the inscription is 24·5 cm.
