Base of white marble. Found in the northeastern section of the portico of Antigone (inv. Ε 130). These groups may be temporary formations for the purpose of providing honors, rather than ongoing associations with clear organizations. However, we do know that immigrants (esp. Romans), merchants, and shippers did regularly form more permanent associations on Delos and elsewhere, so this is also a possibility with some of these groups here.
The Athenian, Roman, and other Greek settlers (katoikountes) and residents (parepidēmountes) on Delos set this up for Ammonios son of Ammonios from Pambotidai subdivision, who was priest of Apollo, on account of his virtue, righteousness, and piety concerning Apollo, his temple, and the other gods. This was dedicated to Apollo.
Demostratos son of Demostratos, Athenian, made this.
