Found in Akropolis wall some years before 1883...
The inscription records two decrees, the second (lines 9-18) conferring proxeny
upon the Abderite Komaios and his descendants, the first (lines 1-8) ordering
the publication of the second. It is usually dated to the first quarter of the
fourth century by the form of its prescript, but it could as well date to the
years soon after 375, when Abdera was rescued by Athenian forces after an invasion
of the Triballoi and subsequently became a member of the Second Athenian League.
The relief is so worn that only the outline of the figures is visible. On the right is Athena, preserved only from the knees down, recognizable by the upright shield leaning toward her on the right. She turns toward the left, probably to crown the smaller honorand Komaios, preserved only from the calves down, who turns toward her.
