Greek inscriptions

IG Dedication of Ion of Chios to Athena

The Greek-language inscriptions and epigraphy are a major source for understanding of the society, language and history of ancient Greece and other Greek-speaking or Greek-controlled areas.[1][2] Greek inscriptions may occur on stone slabs, pottery ostraca, ornaments, and range from simple names to full texts.[3][4]
