His signature, which is not completely preserved, can also be found on the fragment of a statue base from Delphi on which there was a statue of Aphrodite , which was consecrated by an Asopod [oros]. The typeface of the inscription can be traced back to the end of the 4th century BC. To date. From the 3rd century BC His inscription comes from Thebes on a fragment of a base on which a portrait statue stood as a votive offering to the gods.
