Console of a column of limestone with tenon found in the temple of Baal Shamim (56.3 x 58.6 x 64 cm). For the interpretation of konnetai as an occupation, see Kaizer 2002b.
The symposium (symposion) of the konnetai (meaning unknown, but likely an occupation: perhaps metal-workers, workers in stucco, dyers in blue, or image-makers) honored their patron Septimius Odainath, the most brilliant consul in the 569th year.
