Slab of white marble, now in the Istanbul Museum (sculpture cat. no. 271). There is a relief of the Thracian Horseman above the inscription.

The association (synētheia) of purple dyers (porphyrobaphoi) of the eighteenth street honored Menippos, son of Amios, also called Severus, from Thyatira as a memorial.
