bibliography            

Block of blue-gray limestone with a moulding at the bottom. Found in the wall of a modern farm building in 1963 (inv. KE 811). Now in the Isthmia Museum. The reference to a basket-bearer in the society suggests a group engaged in mysteries for Dionysos.

Gaius Heius Agathemeros and Terentia dedicated the drinking-cup for the bread-and-meat society (thiasos), setting it up on behalf of the basket-bearer (liknaphoros) Heia Pauleina, their daughter.
