Stone casket of marble found in the eastern necropolis, where other Judeans were interred, now in the Thessaloniki Archaeological Museum (inv. no. Μθ 5674).
Marcus Aurelius Jakob, also called Eutychios, while he was still alive, prepared this for his wife Anna who is also called Asynkrition and for himself as a memorial. If anyone buries another here, he shall pay the synagogues (synagōgai) 75,000 shiny denarii.
