Mytilene on Lesbos (Northern islands, Aegean Islands — Pleiades map), 14-37 CE
IG XII,2 205
= PHI 74870
= AGRW ID# 17754
Supposedly found near Mytilene at a tower in the road leading to the baths, this fragmentary text only survives in transcript form. Tiberius is here honored (likely by the People) as a benefactor and friend of the city and there is mention of "mysteries" that may have been performed by a group of initiates.
Too fragmentary to translate.
