Slab of blue marble found in the market (agora) east of the western hall (114.5 x 46 x 19 cm; letter height: 2.0-2.6 cm). These instructors, like the sanhedrin of physicians at Ephesos, met in or near the Mouseion (i.e. the building dedicated to the Muses).
According to the resolutions of the emperor–loving Council, the instructors (paideutai) gathered around the Mouseion honoured Pontia Apelliane, the superintendent of the torch–races of the goddess (i.e. Artemis), having acted as superintendent of the torch–races when Hermippos (10) and Elpidephoros were leaders (archontes). This was set up when Ampheion and Julius were civic leaders (?).
