Cylindrical base, now in the Adana museum (provenance uncertain; 78 x 70 cm).

Metereine, a wise woman who loves her husband, prepared the memorial together with the funerary altar for the guild (synergion) of workers (operarii).  She loves her children.  This was done when Heraklitos was president (prostatēs) . .
