bibliography            

Piece of white marble with a very fragmentary inscription. This is likely a dedication to an emperor which involves "Dionysos before the city" in some way (perhaps linked with the initiates of Dionysos Breseus before the city attested in several other inscriptions).

Too fragmentary to translate.
