In 2012 in the ancient place Myrmekion an ostracon, made from wall of amphorae, with the almost completely preserved graffito was found. According to the paleography the inscription may be dated the 2nd half of the IV c. BC. Despite the fact that the inscription is very readable the common text is meaningless. That appears to be an extract from long text, presumably poetic (hymn or epithaphe?), that can be used by author for his own poetical creativity, or as an addition to manuscript, where the words, written on the ostracon, were unreadable.
