Honors for Antioch of the Chrysaoreans

O, N August 10, 1970, excavations in the Athenian Agora brought to light a large fragment of an inscribed stele.' Of Hymettian marble, it was found toward the northern end of the Panathenaic Road at the level of the bottom of Byzantine walls, in the area in which, at lower levels, the Royal Stoa appeared (Agora grid K5). The stele is broken at top and bottom. The toothed chisel was used on the sides and front below the leading line. The back is rough picked. Three wreaths or crowns enclosing five lines each are incised below the main body of text. This large fragment is now augmented by another, discovered in a marble pile in the autumn of 1975, which joins it at the upper left corner. Preserved height, 0.952 m.; preserved width, 0.544 m. (top below join), 0.578 m. (bottom); preserved thickness, 0.141 m
