Marble stone.

The sacred synod (synodos) of performers (technitai) and initiates (mystai) gathered around Dionysos Breiseus honoured Marcus Aurelius Julianus son of Charidemos, twice Asiarch, crown–bearer, temple–warden of the Augusti (Sebastoi), and bacchant (bacchos) of the god.  They did this because of his piety towards the god and goodwill towards the (10) homeland in everything, the greatness of the works which he prepared for it, and his disposition.  This took place when Menophilos Amerimnos son of Metrophanes was treasurer and Aphrodisios Paulus son of Phoibion was supervisor of works.
