Grave stone slab with a relief of a funerary meal with a seated woman to the left and two men reclining. Found built into a house in Yalova.
The young boy Dion, friend of Abarsakos (village [?]), was snatched by Fate (moira), having lived 15 years. Also for his father Dion, having lived 45 years. The Abarsakenian fellow–initiates (synmystai) set this up for the sake of remembrance.
