Transliterations on Places on

[1] This plaque is one of over a hundred surviving altars from Athens dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian (r. 117-138 AD), as saviour, founder, and Olympios, on which see Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian 7 with notes. A hole has been drilled in the top to allow the plaque to be mounted; it is unclear whether this was done in ancient or modern times (cf. Benjamin, Altars of Hadrian, 55-56, 86).
