by an iden tifying l abel, such as “trierarch.”
32
Occasionally non-A thenians and
servants or slaves were included on the lists.
33
The lists were carved out of marble, usually identified as Pentelic. They
sometimes preserve flat undersides that were set upon a base or i nto long slots
cut into a base.
34
Vertical do wels could be used to secure them in place: IG I
3
1186 and SEG 52.60 preserve dowel holes on their undersides,
35
and on the l ong
base IG I
3
1163d-f there are four cuttings for vertical dowels (Figure 2 ).

A
stele with inscription and figural relief found east of the Larissa train station, near
Palaiologou Konstantinou street and herein referred to as the Palaiologou stele
and relief (SEG 48.83), is dated to the 420s bc and is the first list with a tenon. The
only other is IG I
3
1191, dated to the late fifth century.
The earliest example of crown ing decoration for a list (ap art from a mo lding)
is preserved only in the report of a lost drawing. A. Boeckh in CIG describes
having seen a drawing in U. Koehler’s papers made by L. F. S. Fauvel of a
frieze associ ated with the l ist for the dead from Poteidaia (IG I
3
1179, 432
bc).
37
According to Boeckh, the drawing depicted three warriors fighting on a
slab above the base for the casualty list of Poteidaia dead. Fauvel’s transcription
of the epigram has been found, but not the drawing, and it is quite possible that
the relief never belonged with the monument. The earliest surviving example of
crowning decoration is the Palaiologou relief (SEG 48.83), dating to the 420s and
described in detail below. The cuttings on the top of the lists also speak against
