Description
Fragmentary palm-leaf tablet referring to the deities Athena(?) Potnia, Enyalios, Paeaon and Poseidon. The deity Erinys has been added at the bottom. The epithet “Enyalios” is either a title of Ares or the name of a separate god. “Paeaon” may be considered the precursor of the epithet of Apollo used in the Classical period.
