The 1st century AD inscription which has recently been discovered printed (most likely, by accident) on an ancient vessel in an Ancient Thracian burial mound near the town of Tatarevo in Southern Bulgaria has been found out to be a verse from the poem “Prayer to the Muses” by Ancient Greek poet and statesman Solon.
The inscription, which was printed on a clay vessel, was found in August 2015 by the archaeologists excavating a Thracian tumulus (burial mound) repeatedly targeted by treasure hunters in the town of Tatarevo, Parvomay Municipality, in Southern Bulgaria.
The vessel with the “printed” inscription in Greek is a balsamarium (an ancient vessel for holding balsam).
It was found by the tem of the Director of the Plovdiv Museum of Archaeology, Kostadin Kisyov, inside the fourth, and most likely main grave in the so called Great Ancient Thracian Mound in Tatarevo.
