Base of white marble. Now in the museum at Thessaloniki (inv. ΜΘ 1790). The god Hermanubis is a combination of Hermes and the Egyptian deity Anubis.

This was set up in honor of Pomponius Helenos and Cassius, leaders (prostates; or: patrons) of the worshippers (thrēskeutai) and precinct-initiates (sēkobatai) of the god Hermanubis.  Claudius Auximos who is also known as the Pierian did this as an honor for his father, Claudius Gaius, for the sake of honor when Marcus Aurelius Justus was the chief temple-warden (archinakoros).
