View of the base of a column that is located on the east side of the Temple of Artemis.  Besides the typical decorative carving, there is a Greek Inscription here.

A possible 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 Sardis (slightly modified).
