bibliography            

Two pieces of a slab of white marble. The first fragment (a) most likely involves the Dionysiac dancing cowherds' honors for the proconsul Julius Quadratus (see AGRW 116, which forms the basis of Conze and Schuchhardt's reconstruction of the present inscription). The second fragment (b) mentions a chief-cowherd alongside others.

Too fragmentary to translate.
