Column of red marble with white veins (46 x 28 cm). Found at Kalecik, near ancient Malos (about 50km east northeast of Ankyra). This dedication may or may not refer to the god of the Judeans. The "prayer-house" may be a gathering place for an association of worshippers.
The works here were produced . . . for the great god Hypsistos (“Highest”) Epouranios (“Heavenly”), for his holy angels (angeloi), and for the worshipful house of prayer (proseuchē).
