bibliography            

Slab of limestone (39 x 36 cm). No association is mentioned in this inscription, but the text is included here for its value in studying manumissions from Pantikapaion that involve service to a group of Judeans.

During the reign of king Tiberius Julius Sauromates, friend of Caesar and friend of the Romans, pious, in the 402nd year on the first of the month of Apellaios, Glykaria, wife of Apollonios, dedicated Philodespotos, her own house–bred slave, to Zeus and to Hera Kyleidon. My heirs, Dadas, the (10) elder son, Maisous, Tauriskos, and Apollonios have agreed to this.
