Narrow slab of grey marble with a decorated triangular top (pediment with acroteria), now in the Thessalonike Archaeological Museum (inv. no. ΜΘ 1254). In the centre there is a relief of the Egyptian deity Anubis draped and standing on a small base, encircled by a wreath. The slab was found about 1 km from the site of the Sarapis sanctuary, where this group likely met. The date adopted here is the one propsed by Voutiras (SEG). Bricault and others date the inscription ca. 100 CE.
