Console of a column found in the market (agora) at Palmyra (S 1737; 45 x 60 cm). Nesa was the brother of Shoadu (see IOriente 89 and 92).
This is a statue of Marcus Aemilius Marcianus Asklepiades, civic councilor from Antioch and toll-collector (of the 25% tax). The merchants that went up from Spasinou Charax under their leader Nesa, son of Bolyada, set this up in the 472nd year in the month of Panemos.
