I suspect that it may be a quote from Pindars Olynpian Odes. Can we assume we are dealing with a garden building? Thank you David Evans Environment and Conservation >>> [log in to unmask] 21/11/2001 09:03:54 >>> Neil Various colleagues have checked a variety of reference books to come up with half an answer. A Heroon or Heroum is a small sanctuary or chapel dedicated to a mortal or a semi-divine person (such as a hero). We cannot help much with the Greek inscription except to note that the last word does appear to derive from the Greek word for hero. The first word seems to equate with the modern Greek word for a deal or a transaction, so possibly the inscription is some kind of dedicatory text. I hope this helps Mark Bennet ******************************************************************************** Note: We are a Microsoft Office site. Our base version is 4.3.
