APC Image: AK 0900: E.M. 12719. Fragment of inscription on bluish marble. The left edge of the stele is preserved. Line 7 has been erased by rubbing or scraping, not by means of the chisel. It is likely that the line was erased at the time when the stele was inscribed. The event referred to in line 10, if the restoration is correct, is probably the siege of Byzantium by Philip in the year 340/339. Object Description: | | E.M. 12719.
