Additional comment
Robert 1969: Froehner consignait cette indication de provenance: "trouvé à Corinthe ?, vers 1876" ; et il commentait : "Gemeint ist der koische Demos "Isthmos", vielleicht auch ein anderer. REG, 2, 100. ὁ δᾶμος ὁ Ἰσθμιωτᾶν, Ross, Inscr. ineditae, 303". L'indication de "Corinthe" venait manifestement d'une fausse interprétation du nom Ἰσθμιῶται ; il s'agit certainement du dème de Kos.
