Block of gray stone found by Félix Durrbach and Georges Albert Radet in a private house. The ktoinai (also spelled ptoinai) were likely “subdivisions of the city, grouped by a common worship, and distributed according to certain territorial areas” (BCH 10 [1886], 265).
The association (koinon) of the district (ktoina) honors Philoumenos, resident alien, and crowns him with an olive wreath. Twice he served as leader (archōn) in a friendly manner, and he built the banqueting hall (andrōn) that had fallen into ruins after the earthquake from his own resources.
