Commentary

For the archaeological context of the finding, refer to inscription no. 350. The letters of the graffito, according to Hiller, run orthogonally. In his initial reading of IG XII 3.363, Hiller interpreted the inscription as the epithet of Zeus Πολι[ε]ύς, but in a later edition (Suppl. no. 363), he expressed uncertainty about the first three letters.
