Description
This narrow stone block was probably a decorative part of a building. This piece has an inscribed relief. The inscription refers to the granting of lots of lands. It is a cadastral document which includes personal names and toponyms ("Kolones", "Monagriou", "Pyrgiou Kalon Kytheron", "Mimisou", "Malion", "Drapeias", "Limnon"), apparently of the region of Amathous. The toponyms bear numbering, a fact that implies the existence of a cadastral archive. Many of these toponyms are still in use today. The inscription refers also to "Salamis road" ("Salaminias odou"), presumably the road which led from Amathous to the east.
