Plaque of marble found reused in a building. This association consists of a mixture of immigrants and was led by an archeranistēs which may suggest that members would be called eranistai, "contributors." The places or plots may be funerary.

When Sodamos was priest on the 12th of Hyakinthios, Xouthos from Antioch, who was chief contributing member (archeranistēs), and those choosing to contribute towards the construction of the buildings surrounding the plots belonging to Dionysios from Sikyon, Zoilos from Gargaris, and Metrodoros from Ephesos inscribed the names of those who made a promise and paid.  Those electing to establish what was planned for the association (koinon) with respect to the surrounding buildings and. . . the doors for the plots promised to give a gift:  Xouthos from Antioch: 20 (drachmas); Dionysios from Sikyon: 5; Myron from Ephesos: 30; Dromon from Cappadocia: 5 and the doors; Sophon from Ilion: 10; Zoilos from Gargaris: . . . x; Menophilos from Ephesos: x . . . ; Getas from Antioch: x. . .
