Funerary altar with heavy damage (62 x 43 x 9 cm). The honoree may be a member of two different associations, the Asklepiasts and the Asians, or the patron of both.

The worship-association (thrēskia) of Asklepios-devotees (Asklēpiastai) and of the Bacchic-assembly (Bakcheion) of Asians (Asianoi) of Veiento set this up for Memnon, the reed-pipe player (kalamaulēs), as a memorial.  Cassia Antigona set this up for Memnon in the 385th year (of the provincial era).
