Unfortunately, compared to the pre-war shape, the present collection shows
that not all inscriptions were preserved from the perils of war. To our present
knowledge, until 1945 the Braniewo collection held as many as over 90 Greek
inscriptions. Luckily, a great majority of these precious objects found its way
to Warsaw after the war.8

In the post war efforts to salvage monuments, another highly valuable object
was transported to Warsaw. It is a marble grave lekythos of Eschation, son
of Kephisodoros and Kephisodoros, son of Eschation from an Athenian deme

8 Currently, the National Museum in Warsaw has in possession 85 epigraphic objects from the
Braniewo collection.
