Summary edit

Description

Base of a cult statue in Histria dedicated to Apollon Ietros, i.e. Apollo the healer, 4th century B.C. It reads:

_ _ _ΞΕΝΟΣ ΙΠΠΟΛΟΧΟ ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙ
ΙΗΤΡΩΙ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕΝ ΕΠΙ ΙΠΠΟΛΟΧΟ [ _?]
ΤΟ ΘΕΟΔΟΤΟ ΙΕΡΕΩ

Translated it means: _ _ _xenos, son of Hippolochos, dedicated this to Apollo the Doctor during the priesthood of Hippolochos son of Theodotos.

Comments:

  1. the full name of the dedicator is broken away, but there is space for only 3 or perhaps 4 letters in the fractured area. Possibilities include, for example: Theoxenos, Timoxenos, Philoxenos, etc.
  2. the letter forms and the absence of the upsilon in the genitive singular suggests a date very early in the 4th century B.C.
  3. the cuttings on the top of the base are not typical of a free-standing figure with two delineated feet. Perhaps it was a statue with feet covered by a robe or other drapery.
