Inscription that accompanied a coin or offering receptacle (thēsaurus) that was found on location in the sanctuary of the Egyptian deities. Such offering receptacles have been found in the meeting places of other associations, including the Sarapis sanctuary (A) on Delos (see also IG XI,4 1247 = PHI 63732 on this site). The Royalists (basilistai) were devotees of the Ptolemaic rulers as gods during the time of the Ptolemaic garrison on the island.
Diokles and the royalists (basilistai) dedicated the offering receptacle (thēsaurus) to Sarapis, Isis, and Anubis.
