1 Ag I 7396 (unpublished): "Beneath the relief runs the inscribed
dedication: ‘Dionysios the cobbler, son of [...]onos, and his
children dedicate this to the hero Kallistephanos.' Below are three
lines of hexameter verse: ‘Having seen a divine vision in his
5 sleep, Dionysios adorns the hero and the children of Kallistephanos;
do you give in return for these things wealth and happy health.' The
name of the father of Dionysios is only partially preserved; it was
seven or eight letters long and a plausible restoration is [Sim]onos:
[son] of Simon.' (Camp)

Dionysios calls himself a παλαιουργός and asks for πλοῦτόν τε καὶ εὐαίων’
ὑγίειαν; he also uses the verb ἀντιδίδωμι. (Kearns)
