When Rose copied this inscription for Bockh it
seems to have been fixed against the wall, so that
he only noticed one side. It is, however, inscribed
upon all four sides. The back is so much worn
that only a few letters are discernible; but the two
sides afford valuable help towards making out the
character of the inscription. The stone is broken
both at top and bottom.
(A) Front. Line 2. ημικοτνλ^η^ οφζου (.?)]. Line
4. 5i56ra[t]. Line 5. I recognise [θαρ]γτ7λ^ώι/]ο[ί], and
in line 6 ΐσ·ταμί[ν]ον: probably the space between
these two words is to be filled up with the number
of the day of the month. Η[ΕΒΔΟΜΕΙ would fill
this space and the 7th of Thargelion was probably
the day on which the Thargelia began : see Momm-
sen, Heortologie, p. 415. Line 7. τελειορ, sc. Lpeioiq
‘ a full-grown victim,’ opposed to γαλαθηνόν. Line 8.

ήμι,συ, the aspirate being omitted : cp. Franz, El.
Ep. Gr., p. 126. (See also the examples collected
by Keil, Schedae Epigraphicae, p. 10.) Next fol-
lows . . . η τω " Η ρω καί [λα\γανα. The restoration
[λά]γανα is suggested by the πόπανον of C. I. 523,
and the άρτον διά σαάμων of C. I. 1464· WEo the
Hero here mentioned is we have no means of
learning. Heroes are a'so mentioned in C- Line
9. Πλνντηρίοίσι., Άθη[να]ία οΐν. The Plynteria formed
a most important festival in the month Thargelion
(see line 5), when the statue of Athena was solemnly
cleansed and readorned. Line 10. Next followed,
in proper order of time, directions for the month
Skirophorion.

(B) Back. This face of the stone is very much
worn. Line 8 seems to read [α]νδράσι.
