1 For the Eastern Hill, see McCredie 1968, 216–234; McCredie 1979. For proposals on the actions that took place here, see McCredie 1968, 219 n. 62; S. Cole, Theoi Megaloi: The Cult of the Great Gods at Samothrace (1984) 26; and K. Clinton, in M. B. Cosmopoulos (ed.), Greek Mysteries (2003) 50–78. The only other region of the sanctuary to receive numerous sculptural dedications was the terrace in front of the large stoa on the Western Hill.

2 McCredie 1968, 216–234; McCredie 1979.

3 Other important issues concerning this building, including its function, its relationship to an earlier building roughly in the same position, and the design of the more fragmentary Ionic porch later appended to its back side, will be taken up in Samothrace 9.

4 McCredie 1968, 222–223, pl. 66,b; McCredie 1979, 8; K. Bringmann and H. von Steuben, Schenkungen hellenistischer Herrscher an griechische Städte und Heiligtümer I. Zeugnisse und Kommentare (1995) 261–262, no. 233, see fig. 114. See SEG 29.800.

5 Blocks T79 and T102.

6 Alpha, block 70.103; omicron, 65.826; corner fragment with the apex of an alpha, lambda, or delta, 64.955.

7 Fragments T69 and 68.1082.

8 On this issue see McCredie 1968, 222–223; Ch. Habicht, Vestigia 17, 1972, 371–372; Bringmann and von Steuben (supra n. 4) 261–262, no. 233. Note also another inscription found on the Eastern Hill with a decree honoring Lysimachus, in which the kings Philip and Alexander are mentioned. Again, the jointly ruling pair is most likely; McCredie 1968, 220–221; Bringmann and von Steuben (supra n. 4) 263–264, no. 235.

9 Bringmann and von Steuben (supra n. 4) 261–262, no. 233, limit the possible period to between 323 and 320, following P. Goukowsky, Essai sur les origines du mythe d’Alexandre (1978) 198, but the evidence for Philip III ruling alone after Triparadisus is not conclusive and there are good reasons for placing our monument after that settlement. For a discussion of the historical circumstances, see below.

10 Initially, Parian or Pentelic was suggested; see McCredie 1968, 225. On the character of Pentelic marble, see A. Abraldes, Pentelethen (diss. Berkeley 1996) 2–8; B. Ashmole, BSA 65, 1970, 1–2; R. E. Wycherley, BSA 68, 1973, 349–353; M. Korres, From Pentelicon to the Parthenon (1995) 94–100, on Penteli.

11 On Pentelic exports, see H. A. Thompson, Expedition 22, 1980, 22–24; Abraldes (supra n. 10) especially 12–27.

14 Compare the same technique used in setting blocks of the Erechtheum: J. M. Paton, G. P. Stevens et al., The Erechtheum (1927) 191–192, fig. 117. See also R. Martin, Manuel d’architecture grecque (1965) 235–238, figs. 110–111.

15 Martin (supra n. 14) 261–273.

16 Martin (supra n. 14) 283–284, fig. 129.

17 Martin (supra n. 14) 273–279.

18 The pries are roughly 0.04–0.08 m. wide, 0.03–0.04 m. high, and set roughly 0.06–0.09 m. from the bed surface. The pries on the inner face can occasionally be nearly as high as they are wide.
