English term or phrase: stele
Stele kan ik ook nergens terugvinden, ik dacht eerst aan zwaard, maar een zwaard van kalksteen?
Alvast bedankt.
Stone *stele* from Hierapytna (modern Hierapetra). It is made of black limestone and dates to the Roman period. The largest part is preserved, made up of four pieces. It is inscribed on both sides: on the first is recorded the treaty of Hierapetra and Antigonos, the king of Macedonia; on the other is a document of "isopoliteia" with the people of Arcadia.
