This is proved by the inscription on the altar of Zeus, which runs thus:The dwellers here have set this boundary-stoneMidway `twixt Pteleum and the Silver Strand,And raised this altar fair, that men may ownThat Zeus is Warden of our No Mans Land.If the reading is correct,ἀμμοπίηwill be the marches, which belong to no one and are therefore put under the protection of Zeus. Blass reads μοίρης σημέϊον ἀμμορίης τε᾽which leaves the last line rather in the air.Unknown
