Console (inv. A 621, A 991, A 1048). This is the same Yarhai honored in IOriente 161.
This is a statue of Marcus Ulpius Yarhai, son of Hairan, son of Abgar. The caravan (synodia) that went up from Spasinou Charax, led by his son Abgar, set this up in his honor in the 470th year in the month of Artemision because he assisted it (i.e. the caravan) at every turn.
(Palmyrene translation follows).
