A Sixth-Century Poros Inscription from Attica
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2013
Extract
The following inscription was found in June 1939 outside the stable of a farmhouse which is situated in a field by two water-mills, on the east side of the main road about half-way between Anavyssos and Phoinike, in the ancient deme of Anaphlystos in the south-west district of Attika. The stone is used for a seat, and lies by the stable door, with the wider inscribed face turned to the ground, the narrower to the wall, and the top covered with a cushion of sacking. It is a rectangular poros block, comparatively smoothly dressed, and inscribed on two adjacent faces (pl. 29c), the narrower of which (pl. 29a) is here referred to as A, the wider (pl. 29b) as B. There are no visible traces of any letters on the two corresponding faces, which are dressed in the same way. The two smallest, or end, faces are more roughly shaped and dressed. The stone is much pitted by the weather, and all the edges are worn smooth.
