Cylindrical altar of Lartian marble. Found on the acropolis.

When Theukles son of Philostratos and adopted son of Mikythos was priest of Athena, Aristarchos son of Sostratos, who was chosen as supervisor by the People and served as priest of Sarapis and Isis, dedicated this to Athena of Lindos and Zeus Polieus (“of the City”) on behalf of himself and his fellow-soldiers (synstrateusamenoi).
