EM 5581 15
II2 1942 18
Kerameikos, III, A5 20
1 (P1. 4). II2 1227 (EM 7750). Archon Epikles, 131/0 B.C.
C.I.G., I, 108; Rangabe, no. 675; I.G., II, 594; Michel, no. 159.
The bottom and much of the top have been broken away; otherwise this white marble stele is intact. The molding is preserved and, on the right, part of the akroterion and original rough-picked surface of the top remain. The stele is 0.90 m. high and tapers, being 0.405 m. wide at the bottom and 0.38 m. wide at the top (just under the molding). The back is original and has an unusual shape. It is neither roughly flat nor bulging in the middle, but slants inward from right to left (r. and 1. to one looking at the stele from the front); the stele is 0.105 m. thick on the right and 0.07 m. on the left.
The height of the letters is ca. 0.006 m. The remains of two circular shapes, one beside the other, in the upper part of the stele (P1. 4, a) and the general unevenness of the inscribed surface indicate that the surface was pared down and re-used for this text.
Except for the distinct outlines of the circles, which are ca. 0.09 m. in diameter, nothing of the original text survives. The position of these original circles and the general dimensions of the stele suggest that the stone is a re-used grave monument of the type illustrated in Plate 6, a.
Although the serifs at the bottom of vertical strokes are not as prominent as in II2 1028, every other detail of the lettering corresponds to the standard: note, for example, in Plate 4, b, the epsilon with the characteristic positioning of the serifs (line 5), the upsilon (line 7), the tau with a serif only at the right end of the horizontal (line 8), the diamond-shaped omikron (line 11), the omega (line 10), the phi (line 12) and the sigmas (line 6). In addition, the occurrence of blank spaces accords with the practice of II2 1028.
