= AGRW ID# 6423
Slab (stele) of marble in five joining pieces with triangular pediment (decorated with a rosette and ivy leaves) and acroteria (71 x 55.5 x 7 cm). Probably found in the modern village of Hayallı about 20 km north of Philadelphia, now in the Manisa museum. For another group of "lovers of the vine", see the inscription from the Dorylaion area of Phrygia (village of Yaylababa Köyu).
To good fortune! In the year 192 of the Actian era on the fourth of the month of Peritios, the young lovers of the vine (neoi philanpeloi) dedicated this as a vow to Mother Leto for the sake of their own salvation.
