This inscription is a dedication by the Great Alexander himself to the goddess Athena. It was discovered in the Temple of Athena Polias in Priene. Priene is a Greek city, one of the hundreds in Asia Minor, that still shout "GREECE" and long to return to where they belong.
The inscription, written in Greek, reads:
"ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ ΑΝΕΘΗΚΕ ΤΟΝ ΝΑΟΝ ΑΘΗΝΑΙΗΙ ΠΟΛΙΑΔΙ"

"King Alexander dedicated the temple to Athena Polias."
The inscription is currently in the British Museum, although it should be in Athens. It is a Greek find, and the dedication itself was made by Alexander the Great to the goddess Athena. It belongs in Greece.
