Most of them were moved to the Neapolis Museum before the second World War and several are now missing. The constitutional law, however, is said to be still kept in this museum (inv.239). The archeological collection of Neapolis is temporarily closed to the public, but it is possible to ask for a permission to the museum curator to visit it, as far as you can get any official support of your research (university, researching center, etc.). A very clear picture of the inscription is published in James Whitley´s article "Cretan Laws and Cretan Literacy" (American Journal of Archeology 101,vol.4, 1997, pp. 635-661). If you wish further information, I will be pleased to help you.

Today, this collection of finds from the region of Mirambello is housed in a building under the Ministry of Culture. The last edition of the early constitutional law of Dreros was made by Henri van Effenterre et François Ruzé, Nomima. Recueil d’inscriptions politiques et juridiques de l’archaïsme grec, Tome I, Rome, École Française de Rome, 1994, Inscription nº 81. I hope Prof. Keane can find this inscription.
