Modern Publication(s): CIG 937b (Editio princeps); Koumanoudes 2760; Marshall IV [C]; Hicks 7; IG II(2) 11132; CAT 2.283
Brief description: Funerary stele
Attributes
Inscription Type: Funerary
Object Type: Gravestone
Material: White marble
Original Location: Attica (based on stele and decoration) (Hicks)
Provenance: Attica
Date: 399-300 BC (based on stele and decoration) (Hicks)
Dimensions: H: 1.092 m; W: 0.406 m. (Leeds)
Layout: Hicks believes the positioning of the names on this gravestone: with a space in the name Heg—elochus is to allow for the head of a painted figure (now missing).
Writing: Inscribed.
Condition: Lower part missing (Leeds), otherwise in excellent preservation (Hicks).
Decoration: Stele with elaborate akroterion of three palmettes. On the front is a plain amphora in low relief, which contains the names of men who were (previously) represented by painted figures (Hicks).
Collection
Location: Leeds City Museum.
Collector(s): Part of a collection purchased by Mr Benjamin Gott and Mr Rawson when travelling from Smyrna through the islands to Athens in 1815. Gott died of a fever at Piraeus, and the marbles then passed to Mr Rawson. They were kept at Rawson’s house in Halifax for several years, during which time six of the inscriptions were copied and sent to Böckh for inclusion in CIG. On Rawson’s death in 1845 or 1846, Mr Rawson’s brother, Mr S. Rawson, sold the marbles to Mr William Gott (brother of B. Gott). W. Gott then passed the marbles to his son, Rev. Dr. John Gott, who presented them with a few exceptions (Nos. 1-6, Hicks) to the Museum at Leeds (Hicks).
Date collected: Collected by Rawson in 1815.
Accession or catalogue number: LEEDM.D.1967.1237
Translation
Demochares; Hegelochos.
