dedication

commentary

This document is physically and archaeologically distinct from the tesserae with which it was originally published, from a different context in the sanctuary of Athena at the archaeological site of Kamarina. The revised reading of Cassio, followed by Cordano makes it a dedication by Thrasys for his success with the bow.
