Pausanias attributes this to Peliades the priestesses of Zeus. For
details see D.Aune (Rev WBC v.1 p31)
Here is another parallel cited by Charles, Aune and others:
Plutarchus Biogr.; Phil., De Iside et Osiride (351c-384c), Stephanus
page 354, section C, line 6:,
EGW EIMI PAN TO GEGONOS KAI ON KAI ESOMENON KAI TON EMON PEPLON
OUDEIS PW QNHTOS APEKALUYEN.
"Plutarch preserves an inscription from the base of a statue of
Athena, whom the Egyptians identified with Isis." translation from
LCL "I am all that has been, and is, and shall be, and my robe no
mortal has yet uncovered."
D.Aune (Rev WBC v.1 p31)
