Column console on location in the market (agora) of Palmyra (inv. A 969). On the typical caravan routes used by Palmyrene merchants, see the description of IOriente 83.
This is a statue of Marcus Ulpius Yarhai, son of Hairan, son of Abgar. The caravan (synodia) that went up from Spasinou Charax along with Yaddai son of Zabdilu, grandson of Yaddai, set this up in honor of him in the 468th year in the month of Audnaios.
(Palmyrene translation follows, adding that the honoree was from the tribe of Annubat).
