Copenhagen Inventory info: 1303
Fragment of a slab of limestone (52 x 58 x 15 cm). Now in Kerch Historical and Archaeological Museum (inv. КЛ-259). Ilouraton (Iluratum) was located southwest of Pantikapaion. If this is a grave erected by a synod, then this is another instance of fictive brother language in the associations of the Bosporan region (see IBosp 104 = AGRW 88 from Pantikapaion).
. . . set up the monument (stele) in memory of their own brother Matridoros. Farewell!
