Block of limestone with a relief of a rider facing right and the text below. Found in 2004 in the eastern necropolis, now in the Taman Museum. The poor spelling may suggest that the members were of lower socioeconomic status and could not afford a more highly educated inscriber (cf. SEG). Ompsalakos seems to be an indigenous name to the area north of the Black Sea.
The society (thiasos) gathered around the priest Numenius set this up for Ompsalakos as a memorial.
