bibliography            

Tablet of marble with handles, now in the Ҫanakkale Museum, inv. 4868 (27 x 47 x 8.5 cm).

Here lies Onesimos, the water-drinker (i.e. someone who abstains from wine, a term sometimes used to describe a mean-spirited character) from Adramytteion, mule-driver (moulios) who left to all his mule-driver friends the farewell.
