Column Base Inscription Detail

Column Base Inscription Detail

A detailed view of a portion of the base of a column that is located on the east side of the Temple of Artemis.

It is a portion of the following translation:  “My column base and my foundation block are each a single stone, and of all [the columns] I am the first to rise, [built} of entire stones not furnished by the people but given by friends.”  From a sign at the site (slightly modified).
