The dromos dedication — “they who first held the contest” · 跑道献辞：首办赛会者

Boustrophedon dedication · c. 565? BC · Athens, Akropolis · Epigraphical Museum, EM 6212+6225

The reading text is that of PHI 521 (epigraphy.packhum.org/text/521), which transmits the IG I³ 507 text; line division, brackets, interpuncts and diacritics stand as PHI prints them, and nothing has been silently altered. Letters outside brackets are read on the stone; letters inside brackets are editorial restorations transmitted with the text. The translation is this edition’s own and is marked as such; the editorial work in text and restorations belongs to the editions cited under Witnesses.
所据读本为 PHI 521（epigraphy.packhum.org/text/521），所传即 IG I³ 507 之文本；分行、方括号、间隔点与标符悉依 PHI 所印，无一处暗改。括号外之字为石上所读，括号内为随文所传之编者补字。译文为本版自作，并如是标明；文本与补字之学术劳绩，属版本一节所列诸家。

Lemma · 题录

From the Athenian Akropolis; boustrophedon; c. 565? BC (PHI lemma). Earlier editions IG I² 463+475+; Raubitschek, DAA 326. The officials named made the dromos and are called “they who first held the contest for the grey-eyed Maiden” — the text standardly linked with the founding of the Panathenaic games; the date PHI prints, c. 565, sits at the traditional founding date. Two names are cut on the back (face B), one of them erased.
出雅典卫城；牛耕式（boustrophedon）书写；约公元前 565？年（PHI 题录）。旧著录 IG I² 463+475+；Raubitschek, DAA 326。所列诸人修建跑道（dromos），并自称为灰眸少女首办赛会者；此文历来与泛雅典娜赛会之创办相连，PHI 所印年代即传统创办之年。碑背（B 面）另刻二名，其一已遭铲除。
