The Dipylon inscription is a short text written on an ancient Greek pottery vessel dated to ca. 740 BC. It is famous for being the oldest or one of the oldest known samples of the use of the Greek alphabet . The text is scratched on a wine jug oenochoe , which was found in 1871 and is named after the location where it was found, the ancient Dipylon Cemetery, near the Dipylon Gate on the area of Kerameikos in Athens . The jug is attributed to the Late Geometric Style Geometrical Period 750 700 BC . It is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens inv. 192 . Text The text is written in an archaic form of the Greek alphabet , with some letter shapes still resembling those of the original Phoenician alphabet . It is written from right to left, with the individual letters mirror shaped in comparison with the modern forms. It is placed in a circle around the shoulder of the vessel. The text consists of 46 characters, of which the first 35 can easily be read as an hexameter hexametric verse in Ancient Greek Greek . The fragmentary rest is believed to have been the beginning of the second verse of a distichon , but the exact interpretation is unclear. The text marks the vessel as a prize in a dancing competition. It is translated as whoever of the dancers now dances most lightly ... the vessel as his prize.
