Round altar of white marble found in Chorzum (110 cm tall). This inscription, unlike many others, does not specify that the businessmen were Romans.
The People and those engaged in business (pragmateuomenoi) here honored Menippos son of Eutychos, also known as Chryseros, who served as overseer of the market in the 57th year (of the Kibyran era), with a beautiful, gold memorial crown. Artemidoros set this up for his father Chryseros as a memorial.
