Four Fragmentary Inscriptions

Extract

The first three of the inscriptions which follow were copied by me in 1893 at Braïm-Efféndi, one of the villages on the site of Tegea, whence, by an arrangement with the owners, I transferred them to the neighbouring museum at Palaea-Episkopé. The fourth, which is too fragmentary for restoration, was found by Mr. Nákos, of Livadhiá in Boeotia, when preparing to lay the foundations of a house in that town in 1891, and I copied it at the time with his permission.

I. Braïm-Efféndi (Tegea). Found by in his field. The inscription is on the face of a curved moulding (cyma recta), about 10 in. in height, which must have formed part of a sepulchral monument of considerable size, perhaps in the form of a small heroön. The letters are from ½ in. to ⅝ in. in height, and are cut with some care.
