Slab of limestone broken in three with a relief of a warrior (147 x 50-51 x 17-19 cm; letter height: 4.5 cm). Found at Kerch in 1933, now in Kerch Historical and Archaeological Museum.

The synod (synodos) gathered around Zotoumas the synagogue-leader (synagōgos), Pantagathos the goodness-loving official (philagathos), and Demetrios the secretary (grammateus), and the rest of the society-members (thiasitai) set up the monument (stele) in memory of Sosias.
