Base of marble (96 x 52.5 cm).

For good fortune! The dyers (bapheis) honored Aur. Artemagoras son of Glykon, commander, the sixth member of his family who has served as a superintendent of the dyer’s building (or: trade). They did so by erecting this statue after he took charge of the torch-race during the great, sacred Augusteia games and he served on the civic Board of Ten.
