This astronomical instrument stands in Psila Alonia Square (Πλατεία Ψηλά Αλώνια). The inscription on the front, "ΠΙΝΑΚΑΣ ΔΙΟΡΘΩΣΕΩΝ ΣΕ ΛΕΠΤΑ ΩΡΑΣ" (Correction Table in Minutes of Time), provides correction values for various months and days. Since sundials display true solar time, which deviates slightly from uniform mechanical time (equation of time) throughout the year, these tables help calculate the exact standard time. It is a horizontal sundial with a triangular metal gnomon whose shadow indicates the time on the top.
