bibliography            

Slab of marble broken at the top and bottom (22.5 x 35 x 9.5 cm; letter height: 1.1-1.3 cm). In this fragment of an honorary decree, the society-members (thiasitai) set up statues of a benefactor who also made benefactions for the harbour and the city.

Too fragmentary to translate.
