The chronicle is one of the longest surviving Hellenistic inscriptions. It was excavated early in the 20th century by a Danish expedition, which found it used as paving block of the Byzantine church of Saint Stephen, near the theatre of Lindos.

The chronicle is inscribed on a marble slab, approximately eight-by-three feet, which is now broken into two pieces. The catalogue of dedications contains about forty-five entries, though only thirty-seven are still legible. Additionally, the chronicle contains four miracle stories about Athena, of which only one is still totally legible, and two more are fragmentary. The chronicle was first edited and published in 1912 by Christian Blinkenberg. Carolyn Higbie published the first English translation in 2003.
