Parts of a base of white marble (124 x 64 x 55 cm). Found in the portico of Philip (inv. Ε 189).

The merchants (emporoi) and shippers (nauklēroi) set this up for Epigenes son of Dios from Melite subdivision, who was supervisor of Delos, because of his virtue and righteousness.  This was dedicated to Apollo.

Boethos and Theodotos made this.
