Carapanos discusses inscriptions associated with the ancient oracle of Dodona and an engraved stone, in a communication presented to the Académie des Inscriptions. He describes and interprets the inscriptions and considers their archaeological and historical significance in relation to the sanctuary and its practices. The engraved stone is examined as part of this material, with attention to its inscription and iconography. The paper contributes to the documentation and interpretation of finds from Dodona and is of gemological interest for its treatment of an ancient engraved gem.
