Console in two fragments found in the market (agora). On the typical caravan routes used by Palmyrene merchants, see the description of IOriente 83.
This is a statue of Nesa, son of Hala, grandson of Nesa, great grandson of Hala, chief of the caravan (synodiarchēs). The caravan (synodia) which came down together with him into Vologesias in the month of Peritios in the 461st year set this up as an honor and thanksgiving.
(Palmyrene translation follows).
