Funerary altar of white marble found at Dagh Dere Kjöi (47 x 30 x 29 cm). Apollonios was a wand-bearer for the company, likely a Dionysiac association.
In the 283rd year (of the Sullan era) on the 7th of the month of Dystros, Apollonios and Aphianos his sons, Apphias his wife, Hermione his daughter-in-law, all his domestic slaves, the company – for the wand-bearer (Apollonios) who is also foremost in the village – and the relatives made this for their father Apollonios for the sake of remembrance. Farewell!
