Ephesos area [Thyaira] (Ionia, Asia Minor — Pleiades map), II-III CE
IEph 3216
= AGRW ID# 10173
This grave belongs to Pompeius Euprosdektos, grain–measurer (prometrēs), his wife, Aurelia Julia, and their children—still living. No one except those mentioned above is permitted to bury another body in it or to erase the inscription. The workers (ergatai) in Ephesos in the gateway near Poseidon’s statue (or: temple [?]) take care of this. He also granted 500 denarii to them in order to buy wine, candles and garlands worth 10 denarii using the accruing interest. They will hold a feast (euōchia) on the fifth of the month of Posidion. If they do not perform these responsibilities or if they overlook them, the grain–measurers (prometrai) in Ephesos shall claim the fund and exact it.
