"The inscription "Kairon gnothi" ("Know the time") is ascribed to Pittacus of Mytilene (640-565 BC), renowned as one of the seven wisest men of ancient Greece. The word Kairos more specifically implies the right time to do something, as opposed to Chronos which is time in general". A similar sundial is at nearby Ely Cathedral.
