For as I walked around and observed your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD — Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you — The 'Unknown God' altar likely refers to dedicatory practices for unknown divine powers; Paul seizes this theological lacuna as opportunity for the gospel's insertion. The proclaimed God fills the unknown god-shaped void.
