Base of white marble found in 1938, now in the historical museum at Kiev (25 x 34 x 22 cm). This group which labels its members both priests and society-members apparently drew its membership almost entirely from two generations of the same family. The names in the final part are heavily damaged. The reconstruction of that portion here follows Stolba 2013, who reconstructs this based, in part, on names in a contemporary inscription (IPontEux I² 201).

. . .  This was dedicated to the Saviour gods (?).  Priests of the Heuresibieians … (column 1) and society–members (thiasitai): Heuresibios son of Leokrates, Polykrates son of Leokrates, Polymedes son of Leokrates, Polystratos son of Leokrates, Polycharmos (?) son of Leokrates, Polydemos (?) son of Leokrates, (10) Polymedon (?) son of Leokrates, (column 2) Leokrates son of Polycharmos (?) …, Heragores son of Name …, Arreneides son of Name… Eumenes son of Leoprepes (?), Heuresibios son of Eumenes (?)…, Leoprepes son of Eumenes (?) …, Syriskos son of Eumenes (?) …, and Poseidonios (?).
