Herodes and the Marathon casualty list

[Epictetus]

In a book review in the Times Literary Supplement I came across an interesting statement:

The survival of the Marathon casualty list is due to the Athenian millionaire Herodes Atticus, tutor to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius and one of the wealthiest men in the Roman Empire. Sometime in the mid-second century AD, Herodes had the stone installed at his country villa in the eastern Peloponnese, where it was recently rediscovered by Greek archaeologists. The inscription was first published in the summer of 2010...

Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds intriguing.
