Commentary

Ὑγίαινε = Χαῖρε, vale, occurs on tombstones, cf. e.g. IGLS III, 946 (at PHI 243028. If this is a tombstone, its presence in the sanctuary needs explanation, unless it is of much later date than the letter-forms suggest, i.e. after the Sanctuary fell into disuse; it could perhaps have been re-used in one of the many reconstructions of the Sanctuary buildings
