I’m so proud of Bylon that he got his own wikipedia article. All we know about him is this inscription, yet not the stone but the guy got an article. I wouldn’t have expected the stone to have its own article either but maybe be an example on another article. But now that this exists, I hope someone will write one for Phola as well.

I wonder what he’d think if he knew that because he carved that, his name and the fact that he threw it over his head with one hand is still known 2,600 years later?

My guess is “cool” or maybe “nice”.
Possibly even “sweet”…

From all we know, this was his exact sense of humor. But than again, what do we really know about him

That’s completely fake. They did not have pounds back then. Not sure about stones either, tbh.
