Large plaque of white marble (75 x 135 x 20 cm). Found in 1904 southeast of the Agora of Theophrastos (inv. Ε 49).
Τhe association (koinon) of Berytians who are merchants (emporoi), shippers (nauklēroi), and warehousemen (egdocheis) in Delos dedicated this to Apollo for the Athenian People because of the virtue and goodwill which it (i.e. the People) continues to have toward them (i.e. the Berytians). This was done when Nikodemos was Athenian leader (archon).
