Slab of white marble, broken on the right side and the bottom (46 x 25 cm). Findspot unknown. For the building in which a group of cowherds met, see B6 in AGRW and photo further below. The "L. Aninius Fla. . ." in line 13 may be the L. Aninius Flaccus who is attested as a hymn-singer (see IPergamon 374 A, line 11). C. Julius Diokles in line 20 may be identified with the civic commander (strategos) in IPergamon 361 and 362.

To good fortune!
