bibliography            

Altar of white marble found in a fountain at Dinar (133 x 54-76 x 60 cm; letter height: 2.0-2.5 cm). The "Most-Sacred Street" mentioned in the inscription may entail a street-association (cf. Thermaia Street and Leather-worker Street at Apameia).

Artas son of Artemidoros — along with all the magistracies, services (litourgia), and works in the stadium on two sections of seating —  left behind the statue for the Most-Sacred Street (plateia).  Menekleus Proclus son of Artemidoros and Menekleus Tryphon his nephew supervised the erection of the monument.
