bibliography            

Base of marble found in the ruins of a Byzantine church (25 x 64 x 39 cm; letter height: 1.5-1.8 cm). If the husband's name is Zenon (not Xenon), then this may be the same man from Selge who was a benefactor of the Aphrodisiasts on the island of Rhodes (see IRhodPC 18 on this site). Bresson proposes a date between 100-76 BCE for our present monument which, if correct might supply a date ca. 100 BCE for IRhodPC.

Thessalia the Ephesian and her husband Zenon (or: Xenon) of Selge, who have been crowned by Asklepios-devotees of the . . . founder’s name (?) association (koinon) with an olive crown and gold.
