Fragment of a round base of marble (40 cm in diameter; letter height: 1.5-2.0 cm). The sanctuary of Apollo Erethimios (in the modern village of Theologos or Tholos) was located about half-way between Ialysos and Kamiros on the northeastern coast of the island. An association with a similar name (with a slight spelling difference) is also attested in an inscription from Kamiros (see IKamiros 87 on this site).
