- This is a cast of a Greek inscription on a marble block recording the details of the city of Orchomenos' repayment, in two installments, of a loan made to it by Eubolos of Elateia (Phokis). As detailed in the inscription, IG VII 3171, Eubolos was granted grazing rights for his livestock in the territory of Orchomenos, likely in place of interest on the loan.
