Commentary
This is one of a group of such texts, almost all found re-used near the South-east Gate, dedicating an epistylion, with its decoration (kosmos) to the Demos: 12.405, 12.503, 12.504, 12.505, 12.506, 13.503, 12.406, 12.407, 12.408, 12.404.
Perhaps a fragment of 12.405 (CIG 2752), last seen by Wood in 1750.
