APC Image: AK 1053E.M. 12798. Fragment of white marble. The right edge of the stone is preserved. The back is rough and shows no clear sign of chisel marks. This fragment, which belongs to one of the tribute lists, preserves parts of a heading and the ends of eight names of cities belonging to the Hellespontine group. The fragment probably belongs to a tribute list of the years 425/4 - 422/1. The three columns of the stele were probably arranged much in the same way as in the list for the year 427/6, where a new group of cities with its heading begins each column. The first line of this fragment differs from that in the subsequent lines, so much so that it seems necessary to assume that two stone-cutters were at work on the stele. This fragment closely resembles I.G., 1 2, 223, which seems to go on top of this new fragment. Since I.G., I 2, 223 preserves part of the heading and the beginning of the first column of names, and this fragment belongs to the right side of the stele, it is possible to assume that the heading and at least the upper part of the first column were written by one man and that the rest of the stele was inscribed later by a different hand.
