Comments: |
Base of white (‘Pentelic’) marble. Dedication of a statue to the priestess of Athena Polias, Sabeiniane Hamillo by the genos of the Praxiergidai after decree of the Areopagos and with sanction of the boule of 500 and the Αthenian demos, on account of her piety to the goddess. The base probably does not originate from the sanctuary (I.Eleusis). |
