The See also:Chronicle seems to have been set up by a private See also:person, but, as the opening of the inscription has perished, we do not know the occasion or motives which prompted the step
.
The author of the Chronicle has given much See also:attention to the festivals, and to See also:poetry and See also:music; thus he has recorded the See also:dates of the See also:establishment of festivals, of the introduction of various kinds of poetry, the births and deaths of the poets, and their victories in contests of poetical skill

The reckoning by Olympiads is not employed

The Chronicle consists of 93 lines, written chiefly in the See also:Attic See also:dialect
