Slab of gray marble with pediment, acroteria, a shield inside a tympanon, and a wreath with ribbons, now in the Collection of Hayri Büke. (The correct calculation of the date is 142/143 CE, not 152/153 CE as in SEG and PHI). Julia Gordos (formerly Gordos) was located east of Thyatira.

In 227th year on the 3rd day of the month of Hyperbertaios, the guild (homotechnon) of clothing-cleaners (or: fullers; gnapheis) honored Artemon, who lived 55 years.
