= AGRW ID# 22052
Block of marble (107.5 x 49.8 x 51.6 cm). Found in 2003 reused in a pillar of a modern bridge in Saros village. The honoree here is Lucius Flavius Arrianus (i.e. Arrian) , a native of Nikomedia, who is also known for his histories, including the Anabasis of Alexander and Indika. He was governor (legatus pro praetor) of Cappadocia.
The sacred synod (synodos) of Apollo set this up–under the supervision of Marcus Junius Archias, the priest (hiereus) for life–for Flavius Arrianus, legate and propraetor (antistratēgos) of Augustus, the most pious and just governor.
