According to https://www.atticinscriptions.com/inscription/AIUK14/1

> This small stele or plaque was donated to the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1887 or 1888 by Alexander Wood Inglis. There is currently no information on how he acquired it.

I assume he (or the previous owner) acquired the stele by the same means the marbles of the Parthenon were acquired.
