Hematite gem decorated with a naked winged figure (Eros ?) riding on a fish. The fish has the head of a griffon and the profile of a man. Beneath is an eagle clasping a liver from an altar. Chaniotis (EGBR) points out that this imagery has parallels in Nemesis iconography. The gem was likely possessed by a member of a synod of performers, and the reference to the need to have a good soul may suggest some moral expectations for members of the group. The oracle itself may have been in existence in some other form before the making of the gem. The mention of a "Paphian synod" may refer to a branch of the Dionysiac performers centred at Paphos on Cyprus island. This may also allude to the Paphian Aphrodite, in which case the synod itself may have Aphrodite as patron deity. On this, see the two inscriptions involving performers devoted to Aphrodite at Syracuse, as discussed by Fountoulakis 2000.
