One towards the East, i.e. towards Megara, reading: "Here is not Peloponnesus, but Ionia" (τάδ᾽ οὐχὶ Πελοπόννησος, ἀλλ᾽ Ἰωνία) and the one towards the West, i.e. towards the Peloponnese: "Here is Peloponnesus, not Ionia" (τάδ᾽ ἐστὶ Πελοπόννησος, οὐκ Ἰωνία); Plutarch ascribed the erection of the stele to the Attic hero Theseus, on his way to Athens.
Satu menghadap Timur, yakni Megara, berbunyi: "Di sini bukan Peloponnesos, namun Ionia" (τάδ᾽ οὐχὶ Πελοπόννησος, ἀλλ᾽ Ἰωνία) dan yang menghadap Barat, yakni Peloponnesos: "Di sini merupakan Peloponnesos, bukan Ionia" (τάδ᾽ ἐστὶ Πελοπόννησος, οὐκ Ἰωνία); Plutarch mengaitkan pendirian prasasti tersebut bagi pahlawan Attic Theseus, dan perjalanannya menuju Athena.
