Marble stone broken in five pieces with a fragmentary inscription; found reused in a wall on the road to Magnesia. This is a family tomb which involves a bequest to "the most sweet guild of wood sawyers (xulopristai)" who will have a wine feast in the seventh month. Cf. Nijf 1997, 62-63.
Too fragmentary to translate.
