Pedestal for a statue found in the sanctuary of Aphrodite.

Theodoros son of Seleukos, “cousin” of the king, governor (stratēgos), commander of the fleet (nauarchos), and high-priest.  The association (koinon) of Cilicians stationed on the island set this up on account of his benefaction towards the association.
