Greek Text

Translation

"Of the synod in the Aliteion (or Haliteion)."

For synodos cf. A. J. B. Wace, 'The stamped tiles', BSA 13 (1906-7), 17-43, at p. 41, no. 50 with fig. 7 d; 51, fig. 7 e. For (h)Aliteion cf. ibid. 42-3, no. 63 (IG v. 1. 884), where Wace reads 'Alpeion' on the basis of Paus. iii. 18. 2 (Alpion). Both Wace and Pausanias, however, should be emended so as to refer to the Alit(e)ion or Halit(e)ion.
