Statue (?) base of Lartian marble. Here a man is honored (perhaps with a statue) by two different associations devoted to Aphrodite, one devoted to Queen Aphrodite and the other named after its founder, Theuphanes.

Name (likely on another stone) . . . has been honored by the association (koinon) of Aphrodite-devotees (Aphrodisiastai) of Queen Aphrodite with a gold crown, and by the association (koinon) of Theuphaneian Aphrodite-devotees with a gold crown.
