- Description:
- This is a damaged cast of a list of Attic ephebes from the year 178/179 CE inscribed on a stele of Pentelic marble. The inscription, IG II² 2106, is or was housed in the Fridericanium in Kassel, a museum heavily damaged in the second world war. The stele is only partially preserved in the original. While not preserved with these cast fragments, the block was decorated in relief below the inscription with young men standing on a ship. The cast is in very poor condition. The fragments from ID nos. 197 and 328 belong together.
