Slab of limestone with a pediment and a relief of a shield within the tympanum (84.5 x 47 x 8.0 cm; letter height: 1.2-0.5 cm). Now in the Piraeus Museum (inv. no. 3508). The text was inscribed on three different occasions by three different stone-cutters: (1) lines 1-104 (columns 1 and 2 and the first 18 names in column 3, dating to the I CE), (2) lines 105-117 (the remaining 14 names in column 3, dating to the I CE), and (3) lines 118-135 (the final 5 names in column 3 and all the names in column 4, dating to the late I CE). The meaning of ΠΑΡ, ΑΠ / ΠΑ, and ΥΠ (inscribed as monograms) is not certain, but one suggestion (followed in the translation here) is that these are abbreviations for πάρεδρος (assistant), ἀπελεύθερος (freedperson), and ὑπηρέτης (attendant or servant). For bibliography and discussion see GRA I 47.

(column 1) For good fortune.  In the year that Leukios the younger of Rhamnous was leader (archon), the former sacrifice-maker and former supervisor (kosmētēs) Apollonios son of Antiochos inscribed the names of these contributors (eranistai), when Kallistratos was the treasurer for the second time, and Demetrios was secretary for the second time.

The female head of the contribution-society (archeranistra) was Thaleia. The priest of Herakles was Theodoros son of Metrodoros of the deme Paiania
