Slab found in five pieces in the western cemetery, now in the Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum (inv. no. Μθ 6167). The nature of the association, rendered here rather literally as “lovers of play” (philopaiktores), is ambigious but may have to do with athletic or dramatic shows.
The members of the association around Lucius Rusticilius Agathopous from among the sport lovers set this up for Titus Julius Prophetes, also called Secundus.
