Open Question

Eucleides is known to history by a single administrative act, his archonship of 403/402 BCE and the alphabet reform decreed under it. Almost nothing else about his life, including a birth year, is recorded anywhere.

What would resolve this An inscription or documentary source naming Eucleides outside his single archon year, giving any biographical anchor beyond that office.
