Pedestal for a statue found near the Church of St. Luke at Kouklia. Now lost.

The city of the Paphians set this up for Aristonike daughter of Ammonios and wife of Aristokrates–”cousin,”  royal recorder, and member of the performers (technitai) gathered around Dionysos on Cyprus–on account of her generosity towards the city.

Translation by: Harland



ἡ πόλις ἡ Παφίων | Ἀριστονίκην τὴν Ἀμμωνίου γυναῖκα δὲ Ἀριστοκράτους | τοῦ συγγενοῦς καὶ ὑπομνηματογράφου κ[α]ὶ τῶν κατὰ Κύπρον | περὶ τὸν Διόνυσον τεχνιτῶν φιλαγαθίας ἕνεκεν τῆς || εἰς ἑαυτήν.
