Locations
Walls, South-east: reused in or near the south east stretch of the walls (Sherard, Wood, Bailie); 'in the west wall' Fellows (presumably in error). Fragment found during excavation of the Bouleuterion/Odeon. Unknown. Complete block last seen at findspot; surviving fragment in the Museum (1977).
History of Recording
The complete block was copied in 1705 by Picenini (10102 28v and, from Tisser, 55), whence Sherard (10101.44); by Wood in 1750 (vol. 14 f. 45v); by Deering (5v, no.25); by Fellows; by Loew in 1841; by Bailie; by Le Bas in 1843 and by Waddington in 1851. A fragment of the upper part of the stone, with part of the first three lines, was recorded by the NYU expedition (71.45).
