Monument of marble found reused in a house in Philadelphia.

To good fortune!  Flavius Aurelius Hephaistion Papianos II, a most remarkable man from a family known for character and reputation, has led with every honor and service (leitourgia) and has been foremost commander in a fitting and brilliant manner.  He is son of Flavius Aurelius Hephaistion Papianos, who has also led in every leadership position and service and has served as foremost commander.  The sacred tribe (phylē) of leather–workers (skyteis) set this up according to what was decreed by the most powerful Council and the most brilliant People (dēmos).
