The block was probably in a better condition in 1960 when Morelli observed it, than in 1983; and since 1983 its condition has become worse.

Most such altars have the genitive of the god's name, mentioning him (or her) as the owner of the altar. However there are a few instances of the nominative (so IGCyr102920), which we do also entitle 'dedication' for the sake of unity of the series. On the other hand, on behalf of the very poor condition of the surface it is not quite impossible that the names were originally at the genitive, with both final sigmas already lost in 1960.

Morelli wrote that he had seen this stone at the 'agorà degli dei'. In spite a similarities between both places, that denomination is more usual for the space West of the Strategeion and we suspect an error of his.

About the clearance of the area and the discovery of the group of altars (IGCyr102800, IGCyr102900, IGCyr103200, IGCyr103300, IGCyr103400, IGCyr103430) see now [...], p. 141.
