Base of Hymettian marble, now in the Epigraphical Museum, Athens (EM 649). This was found in Athens in the same neighborhood as the ancient Sarapis sanctuary, about 45 metres away from where the Metropolitan Church now stands. The leaders in this association include both Athenian citizens (priest; temple guardian) and resident aliens (attendant; interpreter of visions).

To Isis, Sarapis, Anubis, and Harpokrates.
Megallis daughter of Magas of Marathon set this up on behalf of her daughter Demarion and her sons, in accordance with a command, during the priesthood of Menandros son of Artemon of Alopeke, when Asopokles of Phlya was temple guardian, Sosikrates of Laodikea was the attendant, and Dionysios of Antioch was judge of the spectacles (or: interpreter of visions).
