Slab of limestone (62 x 32-35 x 12; letter height: 2.5 cm). Found at Achtanizovskaya in 1904, now lost.

The society (thiasos) gathered around the priest Menestratos son of Ardarakos, the sacred-searcher (hieromastōr) Dadas son of Noumenios, and the goodness-loving official (philagathos) Kratippos set this up in memory of Aouainonis.
