Marble slab. Theos Hagios (“Holy God”) is likely to be identified with Asklepios here, as in several other dedications from Sidon. See SEG 55 (1995), no. 1661-1665.
Year 64. Heliodoros son of Apollonios dedicated this to Theos Hagios (“Holy God”) when Apollophanes was head of the cutlery-makers (machairopoioi) on behalf of the association (koinon).
