APC Image: AK 1065: Fragments of inscribed herm, E.M. 2761 and 12712. The lower piece of the inscription which was discovered in a heap of marble in the ruined church of Hagios Nikolaos, fits a fragment in the Epigraphical Museum (E.M. 2761). The two pieces are parts of a herm inscribed on the front face with a list of epheboi. The stone has a deep groove cut on either side. The surface is badly weathered, especially on the fragment which was published the previous year (HESPERIA II). The upper piece, which apparently has been in the Museum a long time, is not included among the ephebic lists in I.G., II 2, and there is no indication of its provenance in the Museum inventory. The characteristic letter forms for sigma and omega appear most commonly in inscriptions of th early third century A.D., and approximately to the period our inscription must be assigned.
