Plutarch in Delphi
#1
I recall that I once spotted an inscription in Delphi, mentioning Plutarch. I am now preparing a new visit to the ancient city, and wonder where this stone may have been. Does anybody know about such an inscription, and, if it exists, where I can find it? (This will teach me [a] that you need to take photos immediately and [b] to make better notes.)

I never saw one during my brief visit to Delphi in 1982, but apparently there are two: see the Texas University Plutarch page

Most museums exibit "rotating" collections.
I realized that because I check Acropolis and National Museum in athens quite frequently so it is hardly surprising that Mr. Cambel missed some thingies. Thanks for the link.
The usual excuse is maintenance. Irritating but probably true.
Kind regards
