Translation

The Council (set up a statue of) the People

Commentary

The Demos also dedicated a statue of the Council (2.101). 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 statue of Demos see 8.52 (=70.1023)

Locations
