The text was inscribed over an erasure: Posamentir (2001), through the use of specialist photography, shows that the second line of the earlier text read ΕΡΜΑ[ ]Ο (the patronymic Ἑρμα[ί]ο (&#039;&#039;SEG&#039;&#039; LII 64)). <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Condition:&#039;&#039;&#039; Broken into two and re-joined; missing only the bottom left corner (Conze). <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Decoration:&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘The whole slab is plain, without any part sculptured in relief… The field at first appears to be empty, but on closer inspection [are] the outlines of a very nice composition, the ground around the figures being corroded by the weather. To the right, a youth stands in a gentle attitude; he is naked, except for a small chlamys, which covers like a shawl the left shoulder and arm, and the right arm. The left hand holds a staff which leans slantwise on the upper arm. In the outstretched right hand the youth holds a small bird. He looks down to a small boy sitting on the ground, who leans on his left arm and endeavours to lift his body; he looks upwards and stretches out his right arm, desirous to grasp the bird.’ (Michaelis). <br /> <br /> <br /> == Collection ==<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Location:&#039;&#039;&#039; Broom Hall (Scotland, Fife): along the walls of the spacious hall (Michaelis). <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Collector(s):&#039;&#039;&#039; Lord Elgin.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Date collected:&#039;&#039;&#039; Not known. T. S. Hughes, &#039;&#039;Travels in Sicily, Greece and Albania&#039;&#039; (p. 267, 269) includes a description of the stele among those items he copied down in Lusieri’s Athenian courtyard. Michaelis noted that ‘as the marble chair [as well as some other marbles] did not form part of Elgin’s collection offered for sale to the nation in 1816, it may have been brought to Scotland at a later time’.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Accession or catalogue number:&#039;&#039;&#039; Not known. <br /> <br /> <br /> == Translation ==<br /> Kollion<br /> <br /> == Bibliography ==<br /> C.
