bibliography            

Pink boundary stone (44 x 31 x 11 cm). Aphrodite's epithet here is apparently otherwise unattested, and the meaning is uncertain (there are also two different readings of the stone with respect to the spelling of the epithet). The society is led by a woman and may consist of women members.

Boundary stone of the society of Thyaies (or: Eudies) Aphrodite which is with Tertia Audia Dorothea.
