bibliography            

Slab of blue marble (27 x 33 x 2 cm), now in the Rijksmuseum, Leiden (inv. I.1900/1.25). This association was evidently devoted to Marcus Agrippa, the son-in-law of Augustus. Adana was located in the province of Cilicia.

The companions who are friends of Agrippa (philagrippai symbiōtai) prepared the memorial for their own companion, Marion from Adana, who is also known as Mareis, for the sake of remembrance.
