| Title: | Inscription on Stone | |
| Description: | Thin, rough slab of hard, gray limestone. Upper, lower, and left sides roughly smooth, right side broken away; inscribed face smooth, back face rough. In center of slab, running left to right, the letters HEP- are shallowly gouged out with a rough implement. The inscription is broken away at the right; below the preserved letters and to the right are traces of a curved letter, omicron or theta. R.S. Young has plausibly suggested that the letters may be part of the name Herakles. That or hέρ[οος--] seem the two best possibilities. | |
