Translation

The People (set up a statue of) the Council.

Commentary

The Council honoured the Demos in a pair to this (2.111). The lettering might suggest a late antique date; but if these texts were inscribed by the sculptors, and not by professional letterers the argument is not strong.

For another base for an image of the Council, see 8.503.
