A fragment of Pantelic marble with fragments of a list of names, likely from a list of Archons who would have served Athens from the years 527/6 to 522/1 BC. The Archon was the chief magistrate of Athens, and during this period, each Archon served a term of one year. These officeholders are often called "Eponymous Archons" because the year of their archonship would often be named after them.
