Plaque of gray marble found in 1936 among the rubble in the middle of the city near the little church of St. Demetrius (30.5 x 29.5 x 16.5 cm; letter height: 1.3-1.5 cm).

Those who were soldiers (hoi strateusamenoi) of the Milesians in undecked ships dedicated this to Apollo of Didyma when Artemidoros son of Demokleides was commander of the fleet and Automenes son of Autosthenes and Apollonios son of Ekphantos were leaders of ships with three sets of oars (triremes).
