* Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the University of Chicago, the University of California-Irvine, Boston University and Texas Tech University. I would like to thank those audiences and especially Helma Dik, Chris Faraone, Jonathan Hall and Donald Lavigne for comments on portions of this project in various earlier stages. Above all, greatest thanks are due to the late Mike Jameson who first introduced me to this inscription and in whose seminar the first inklings of this paper were conceived.
