Slab of white marble found in 1866 (35 x 31 x 9.5 cm). It is not clear whether this group of people in charge of the offering receptacle are an official board of a temple or a sub-group of an association. Offering receptacles are attested in connection with associations on Delos and elsewhere. The regulation specifies the cost of the victim to be sacrificed.

Those belonging to the group of seven who take care of the offering receptacle (thēsauros): Herodotos son of Pantakleus, Epichares son of Dionysophanes, Poseidonios son of Eukrates, Ademantos son of Apatourios, Histikon son of Metrodoros, Leontomenes son fo Heroson, and Herakleides son of Eubios.

Those who offer sacrifice are to contribute into the offering receptacle: 1200 for a bull, 300 for a victim or a goat, and 60 for a fish (?).
