More Context
Above, there seems to have been a standing figure carved in relief, in a sunken panel; part of a right foot is preserved. The fragment consists principally of the raised inscribed panel, which ran below the scene; this preserves the beginning of the first line of the inscription, and the top of one letter of a second line. The partially preserved name may have been Eύανδροs
