This is the second of two pieces (connected by Wilhelm, BSA vii. 156 ff.) of an Athenian inscription recording honours granted in 314–313 B.C. to a Macedonian, Asandros. The purpose of this note is to point out an error begun by Pittakis (L'ancienne Athènes 494; cf. IG ii. 410) and perpetuated by Wilhelm (loc. cit.) and Kirchner (IG ii2. 450b; cf. also Wycherley in The Athenian Agora iii, no. 278), in spite of an accurate copy by Koehler (IG ii. 5, p. 109, no. 410). The latest restored version (Kirchner's) runs in part (ll. 7–9):

This piece of the inscription is regular stoichedon (though section a has some minor irregularities: Wilhelm 160), each line with 21 letters; the restoration ἐ[ξεῖ]|ναι gives 23 to l. 7. The space after epsilon is quite unreadable but is large enough for only one letter, and the edges of the stone are sufficiently well preserved to make it certain that no additional letters were inscribed at the end of l. 7 or the beginning of l. 8. The word must therefore be restored ε[ἶ]|ναι, with the same sense as ἐξεῖναι. Clearly, as Wilhelm noted (158), Asandros was himself responsible for the erection of his statue.
